I’ve been researching this for days, weeks even. I’ve got a number of pictures of people who have posted their setups,. I’ve browsed through page after page at the other forum’s wheel fitment threads. I’ve checked wheel tuck.com I’ve browsed through the definitive picture thread here and even found a couple pic there. but even with the same wheel size offset there seems to be a variety of what it will actually look like.

I’m assuming that I can fit them with rolled fenders and very slight pull.

I run plenty of negative camber for grip driving (which works well for grip driving)

I also don’t lower my coilovers that much. I keep the control arms as close to parallel as possible.

Some pictures I have saved look good, while others I really don’t like. I’m dropping some dough on some REAL wheels and not knockoffs, so I want to be as positive as possible that it wont look bad. But I’m only assuming that the roll, camber and ride height will be ok…

Ive searched for hours to find pics of tire specs on a 16x8 +0. 225's seem a little big. Most people seem to stretch 195's or 205's on there.

you've probably seen the red piggy hatch with 225 50 direzza z1's. That one looks kind of goofy.theres also a vert with 225's that looks nice.

Most 16x8 0 wheels on 240s are sportmax, what wheels are you getting? I think you will be able to fit a 225/50 nicely with some ride height/ camber adjustments.

ps: Ive got a set of toyo proxes in a 215/55-16 for cheap. I know, kind of a weird size. just had to say that.

I'm settled on running the latest 140 tread ware street tires aimed at the autocross crowd. That will be the new for 09 potenza RE011R 225/50's

I've also got a body kit so i think that will help.
