    Keskin wheels.. What offset and tire size?

    I am looking in to buying some KT1's. I want the 16x7.5 in the front, so I should go with the 20 offset, right? For the rear I want 16x9 so I should go with the 15 offset correct?
    I also want to strech the tires so i should go with 195/50 for the front and 215/45 for the rear, Correct?

    Thanks

    Correct, correct, correct. 215/40/16 is a more common rear size, but your setup will have a better balanced F/R diameter (and fill the arches better).

    My job is getting easier around here.

      So would the 195/215 combo be safe on wheels with that width. I wouldnt want to goto 205/225.

      What tire brand do you reccomend for streching?

          Ok, thanks.

          What do you think of Nexen tires.

            i ran the same wheels and the 195's will stretch a bit in the front.. to keep diameters the same on my car, i ran 215/40r16 rear/ 205/45r16 front . here's some pics..





            as you can see my fronts weren't stretched, , you could run a 195/50r16 and it'd prolly be great!

              as far as stretch goes, the kumho spt's is what i've run. GREAT handling tire, GREAT in the rain and stretch easy. hankooks are good too for stretching.

                  You think? Would that clear the front?

                    I have a really good deal on nexen tires. I think they should be good streching. Do you recommend trying these?

                          Yes they clear with a small spacer. 9's all around is the preferred setup not staggered btw.

                            215/40/r16, next set of 9s will run a 215/45/r16 due to the roads here and how 'un'low I am
