Thanks for all the info. I have an additional thought. In searching for rims, I see a bunch of 17" rims I really like, but not many 16". I am looking for a very specific design and am beginning to wonder if I may have to go with 17's after all. If that is the case, what width and offset do I need? Can I special order rims that do not appear on the TireRack website? What tire size? Am I now down to a 40? I am willing and able to roll the fender lips if need be. Thanks for the support guys.
