im lookin into some 16" inch rims that come with 38 offset. The tires would be 205/45/16....Would this setup give me a bumpy ride or is it fine? Thanks

16's is probably the biggest size I would go for a Corolla. 17's and bigger is too big in my opinion. On that note, 205/45/16 is the closest diameter to the stock 14's. 45 series shouldn't be too bad. It's when you go under 40 where it starts to suck even on stock suspension.

They're fine. That aspect ratio is good.

I believe OP was asking about the wheel offset.

OP unless there is someone here who actually 16" wheels in a +38 offset (I assume it's a 16x7 wheel), then you may just have to take some measurements to see.

When I had my old 89 Camry, I was running 16x7 +35 with 205/50-16 tires (closest to stock 185/70-14). With that size, the tire's inside sidewall was maybe 1/2" or less from rubbing the rear struts. As in, I couldn't even fit a finger between the tire and the strut housing. Any higher offset and it would have no doubt rubbed. However, that offset and wheel/tire width also stuck out past my front fender edge about 1/4" and scraped the rear wheel arch lip (I had to hammer it up out of the way).
