I have an 89 240sx, Im riding on agx struts with megan racing cut springs. Got them for 200 and they ride great for being cut. The stock tear drops with 205/60(r15) tire size fits perfect. I want to get sportmax 002 rims but am not sure wat size and offset to run to keep it pretty flush. I was thinking 16x8 but unsure on what offset. If I ran 16x8 wat tire size do you think would be the best? I dont need it perfect, my goal is to get more grip and less tire roll and keep it flush.

Any help is greatly apreciated

195/50 is pretty "safe"

I'd go with either a 205/50 or maybe even a 215/50 depending on what offset you chose.

195's on an 16x8 is kinda unnecessary, imo.
