I want to buy new wheels to replace the stock wheels with the stock tire size.

Should I buy 16 x 7 or 16 x 7.5 and what offset should I be looking for?

thanks

I was told the stock wheel for the GT-S is 16x6.5 with a 39mm offset.

So if you get wheels, go for 7 or 7.5 width. Anything from 32-42mm offset is good. The smaller the better.

I don't really know how to explain offset. It has to do with the centerline. I'm going to go on a limb and say that the smaller offset will allow you to get possibily a wider tire, say 235. This prevents rubbing on the fender.

You should do a search...I think that's why no one is replying...sadness...I try my best. Sorry.
