Haudi !

The complete suspension rebuild on the Coupe is done . The car sits 1.6" lower
on the B&G springs and Koni Sport adjustables.

---end of bad German accent---

Anyhow, so I was wondering if any of you True Free Spirits and Speed Junkies
knew what wheel and tire size I can get away with?

How important is it to stay with the stock offset, and which width will prevent
contact with the surrounding parts (considering the 1.6" drop)?

I am looking at Enkei RS6'es. I am worried that I will bend them if go with 16"
and a thin tire (to retain correct circumference).

Do you think 16x7 is too big and fragile for the bad Detroit roads.
I think 15" would be too small for my taste.

205s,...210s ....     ahh I am getting a head ache

As usual, any input and insight is very appreciated!
TIA guys (and girls, of course)!
