I have successfully fit 225/40 16" Kumho 712's on Borbet T 16x7.5" ET35
onto my old 80 FWD and my new 90q20v. I have plenty of clearance, except I
have a feeling that if I lower the car a fair amount the rear may rub where
the bumper meets the fender, though no big deal. I am severely impressed
with Kumho tires, $80 can't be beat and they perform better than my Dunlop
SP9000's for half the cost. ]
You can go with 17" or even 18" (talk to Javad about that one). Though
you are running the risk of bending rims constantly if you live in a bumpy
area. 17" is actually not too bad, but it doesn't provide much protection
for the rim.
go to http://www.tirerack.com and git some wheels and tires.
