^^ That fitment looks perfect, how do you like the tokico springs and struts? Im thinking about going with a spring/strut combo, but i'm not sure if thier springs will be stiff enough for my tastes. I'm looking for a like 200-225 front/250 rear. On topic tho, I plan on going with 16X8 Rota Rb's with 225-245/40-45/16. These should be perfect for a lowered or stock height car.

PS: What color white is that, it looks like just what im looking for.

The color is a GM stock white, if you shoot me a PM I'll dig out the color code and get back with you.

I've run the Tokico's and MS springs and like the Tokicos better as far as stiffness, they are plenty stiff. I am running the Illumina struts that are adjustable so just crank them to 5 if you want firm/stiff + quick rebounding.

The tires are 50 series so side walls fill out the wheel wells nicely if you go to a 40 or 45 series you'll be losing the sidewall that fills in the wheel well. If you have a stock height car a 40 series tire will not look correct, it will look like a lifted 4x4 with stock tires and wheel if that makes sense.

Here is a compairison between a the Panasport 16X7 with 225-50-16 and a Sport Maxx 16X8 245-50-16

Hey, sent you a Pm. Could you post some more pics of the 245/50/16 set up? im interested in seeing the whole car.

Edit: Also... I think if I was to go with a Rota Rb 16X8 +4 with a 245/50/16 the tires would stick out more then yours because yours are +0 (Yes?) This stuff is sort of frustrating for me because I'm not able to test fit stuff and there aren't many members near me to check stuff out. I don't really want to run fender flares so the wheel/tire combo needs to pass inspection (I also have fiberglass rear 1/4 panels so fender rolling isn't an option. ARRG!
