ASK ALL WHEEL/TIRE FITMENT QUESTIONS HERE - The Official Wheel/Tire Fitment Thread

Those fit best with 20mm spacers and 195/55 tires. 195/50 is a little short. That said, as they are they will bolt up and roll - just look odd.

MSW produced wheels mostly sold through Tirerack in the 80s/90s. European heritage I'm pretty sure. Any laying around are now OLD though.

thank you so much Mystikal! :-D

Looking for 16s for my car slightly lowered on H&R sport suspension. What width/ offset is recommended? Would like to avoid steering problems/ rubbing issues.

What tire size?

In general most wheels up to 8" wide work well in a +15 to +25 offset.

For those 16x8s, you will need 3mm front spacers and either 205/45 or 205/50 tires. No rubbing or rolling.

Ok, slight update. Going to pick up some used 16x8s et15 with 225/45r16 tires on them.

How should I expect those to fit?

P.S. You're awesome.

205/45 front 225/40 rear. Or 215/45 rear in a pinch.

Awesome. Only tire I could find is the Toyo T1Rin 225/40 and I could only find one in the country. All the 215/45 that I can find are super wide shoulder tires like the 615k or the ASX.

Guess I need to order tires from across the pond. Sigh.

17x9 et35 will this clear the front struts? if not what size spacer should i get?
17x10 et20 for the rear will be okay?

No, they will rub quite a bit. 205/45 is the preferred size.

20mm front spacers should leave you paper-thin clearance and work with a stretched tire. Rears will bolt up as is, with the same tight clearance as the fronts (with the trailing arm this time). I'd use 205/40 225/35 tires.

225/45/16 fits with a fender roll.

First ones need 3-5mm front spacers. Otherwise that tire size works on all.
