I've been lookin at them on tirerack but i just wanted to see what they looked like on one in real life. Thanks anyway though wink . I think im gonna go with them.... but i need to find them cheap tirerack has them for $270 a rim comes out to $1080 in all i dont think i can dish out that kinda cash hahah.

I dont wanna lower my car though because i like the softer ride thats why I want 16" rims because i can keep the stock sidewall and not get a harder ride like if i get 18" or something. Plus with those BBS rims i can get 16" and they are 8" wide devilgrin

Stock size tires won't rub with what you're going to do.
Handling kit won't have any effect on tire/wheel size, it'll help if anything by not allowing as much sway.
