So im planning on getting a set of 16"s Rota Slipstream and I have a few questions... on the rota website I see alot of different 16x sizes I have a 4 door 01 sedan. Which is the right size for me to give me a good look? (im running tokico blues + tein stech) Because I dont want to use spacers etc..

16 x 6.5 +26/+40/+45 4h x 100
16 x 7.0 0/+40/+45 4h x 100
16 x 7.0 +40/+45 4h x 108
16 x 7.0 +35/+40/+45 4h x 114.3
16 x 7.0 +40/+45/+48 5h x 100
16 x 7.0 +40/+45/+48 5h x 114.3
16 x 8.0 +20/+34/+40/+48 4h x 100
16 x 8.0 +40/+45/+48 4h x 114.3
16 x 8.0 +48 5h x 100
16 x 8.0 +48 5h x 114.3

and im planning on getting Falken 512's 16" for the rubber, does it matter what size or any specific size/offset dependent on the rim or tire? What are your recommendations? thanks

also anyone know if I can take the Rota center caps off?

Second one 16 x 7, +45 offset. You can get +40, but depending on your tire size, you may rub. So +45 to be on the safe side.

you need to get 4x100, thats the only one that fits. I have 42 offest on my rims and no rubbing

I have +42 rims as well, but my rear tires rub. I have to add -2 camber to the rear, to prevent rubbing. Everyone's situation is different though.

so everyone is in agreement on 45 not lower than 42 :P

so the one I would get is 16 x 7.0 +40/+45/+48 5h x 100
what size tire would it be for a perfect fit? (+45 is the offset I will be getting to avoid rubbing)

but would 40 or 45 give my car a more lower look? or wouldnt really make much of a difference?

First off, you can't use a 5x100 bolt pattern. Our cars only have 4 bolts.

Offset doesn't affect how low the rims sit on the car. Offset affects how close or far the rims sit next to your fender.

Also you can get away with +40 offset and still be okay, but it depends on your setup. Everyone's setup is different, so there's no guarantee fit. However, +45 will reduce your chances of rubbing on the fender versus a +40 rim.

Also do some research man. Go on google and read about "bolt patterns", "offset", "tire size calculator", "rim size", and learn your stuff. I know it sounds a little rude, but we can't teach you everything. Learn some things on your own, and then ask a question that you have at least some knowledge on.

Hey phuviano, its arite no worries I did do some research already just dont really understand it that well wanted to clarify some of my findings because some say 40 no problem and some say 45. As for the size I copied and pasted the wrong one hehe :P 16 x 7.0 0/+40/+45 4h x 100

you are only dropped on s techs so with a 40 or a 45 offset its not going to matter. you wont rub...

heres my ride with 16's and a 40 offset... lowered 1.7" all around so thats pretty close to s tech drops... still have a little gap between the fenders and wheel

quick question, are you running rotas? if so what Honda center caps fit in rota rims? i just got circuit 8's and need center caps

i got 16x7's 35mm offset. ill post up pics of them later. no rubbing with rolled fenders and -1.5 all around camber. as long as you dont slam your ride. as of now, ive got to tuck and a finger gap all around on Tein SS-P's. I was FLUSH with my koni/gc's last year but every little bump made me rub.

Guys, I'm having the same confusion.... I would like to buy some ROTA wheels 16X7 e35(I guess that's the offset) and put 215/50/16 tires. I am new in this and I have no clue if the offset of these wheels will work with the tires that I'm trying to buy. Is 35 offset ok, or should I just buy some with 40-45 offset? Please guys help! Thanks
