What backspacing do I get for rims?

[aaron7]

I'd like to get some rims for my car, and I was looking at getting some 16" rims, with a 4x100 bolt pattern. I'd like 16" because I have 205/50/16 tires that I can use!

Problem is, I have no idea what my backspacing is... and there are so many!

google is your friend!

I did search, but when spending $400+ dollars on something I would really like to know what I'm ordering...

you want an offset of about +38-40, i think. (not sure about 92's)

[REN69]

Yeah.. 38-42 offset I believe.. but 205/50-16s?? I think maybe 205/45-16s was the biggest you could go without rubbing on the top.

[aaron7]

Crap, really? I had these on my Camaro and I thought they were amazingly small!

What size do you recommend for 16"?

[BLUEMEANIE]

lol. a 17x10" looks small on a Camaro.

stick with a 205/45-16

[aaron7]

I didn't want to buy tires... I had the 205/50's on the 'maro, that's why I was thinking about rims, but it sounds like that might have to hit the back burner for a while!!

Come on man.. it will look good... a white Prizm with red front panels and doors, 16inch SUV sized tires, and lots of power to.. umm.. give an old lady in a scooter a run for her money.

i think 205/50/16s are a tad big for ae92s. i once had 205/45/16s with rims that have +40 offset and 1/4 inch spacers at the rear and i was already having minor rubbing issues. although it was still tolerable, i eventually changed my tires to 195/50/16s to eliminate the rubbing altogether
