Need recommendations on what rims to get

[markseven]

I am looking for 16x8, 4x100, 57.1 (direct fit), ET15 or ET20, must be 16lbs or lighter.

What to get?

You already have those... ;)

I'd say go to 15 or 17 so you can get a decent tire selection.

Haha, yeah, close. The Slips are ET25; I need a lower ET (10, 15, or 20, I will use spacers as necessary) in order to fit 225s :pimp:

You're right - with 225/50/15 I have more options... good point.

It looks like the TRMotorsports C1 fits the bill:

15X8, 4X100, ET20, 14.6 pounds.

No, they are ET20. Shant is running 225/45 on those with no issue and the Nexen tires he's using run wide.

:D

You're right - they are ET20. After 5 years of having the Slips I am still a n00b

The 205's seem like they are 5mm-10mm from the strut tube...

I'm running 225/50s on the TR 15x8s. The tire is 1-2mm from the strut tube.

Thanks Ken. I'm probably misjudging the clearance of my 205s against the strut...

I'm considering this for the track car build:

15x8 6ULs
235/50/15 Toyo R888s

Of course this will need 20mm spacers f/r. And I think this setup fits the Massive Race kits front/rear.
