    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.
