    Input wanted for custom wheel specs

    Hey guys, i've been back and forth between what kind of wheels to get after the swap is done. I just sold the esm reps (no more reps :D) which were a square 16x9 et 10 215/40/16 setup. I felt the car had to be to low to pull of the small stretched tires and with the condition of the roads I spent more time pothole scanning then enjoy my drive. I'd like to get some meaty tire to accompany the massive power boost (think 225/45/16). So now if I'm shopping to have some wheels custom built to my spec and wanted to get your guys input on build specs. I was leaning towards 16x8 et 20 to fit the larger tires but also be able to lower the car enough to achieve a healthy balance (full gc coils with camber plates). So basically if you could build your wheels to any spec with respect to having a proper tire, what would it be?

    Thanks in advance, pics are welcome too.

    not 16". Tire selection is terrible. I'd go with 15" or 17"

    9" wide et12 is what I'd spec. run a 225/45/15 or 235/40/17

      Wouldn't those require heavy fender modification/flares?
