Just a couple of questions Im getting a set of 16" interceptors Customised, i want 16x4 fronts and not overally sure what size rears... Fronts: So before i go ahead i need to work out what width i want, so i want to know tyres sizes to suit? Is steering an issue with 4" front rims? Rears: Im thinking 16x8, but they cut out the centers and order the actual rim, so i need to be 100% on my width then i can organise the offset (want the rears dished) does any know how wide i can go? (my diff has not be shortened and i dont want to roll my gaurds) With tyres im unsure on what width for price works out best, so i also need to work this out first, im going to go with semi slicks... I know ive been brief but any input is much appreciated...

I was able to fit a 275/35/20 under the back of mine untubbed, very very tight, but with the exact offset you could fit the same width. Rim width will depend on tyre width mostly. http://europeantechnique.com.au/mich...lot%20tyre.htm (http://europeantechnique.com.au/michelin/Tyres/pilot%20tyre.htm) Here is a link that is a guide to which width tyre will fit which width rim. Find a tire you want to run, then get the right width rim will be easiest. 4 inch fronts will greatly reduce front grip, which is a given, just be careful with it and you should be ok. Wet weather will really be the worst with skinny tyres though. Dont forget it will reduce brake grip aswell, so break distances will increase.
