I found some wheels that i would like to get for my 240. they are 16x8's with an offset of +0mm. What size tire would be the best for me? id like to get as much tire on the road and it not be too much. and also would i have to do anything to accomodate the width of the wheel? like get a spacer or anything like that?

thanks for the help in advance.

sounds like a sportmax 002.

do math, son. turn the 8 inches metric, and itll give you a rough tread width to shoot for. then you take the stock outer diameter of the wheel, and find the right sidewall to make the tread width work properly.

seeing how i dont go for all that beefy stuff, i cant really help you all that much. but its not hard to figure out.

do homework.

also, why do you want to use spacers with a zero offset wheel? how far are you wanting the wheels to stick out, exactly?

no spacers needed.

205/50/16.

any wider or a tire and you might have to pull your fenders.
