have you still got standard brakes on the front ? if not, it can be a bit of a pain finding wheels to fit over the uprated ones for ours like Wilwoods, Brembo's etc 
What width are the 16s? 195 is the tyre section and that will fit on alot of widths.
I have 7x16s on an et32 ish, so with a wider wheel, you may want a slightly lower offset to clear the struts. I've had 225/40s on with no rubbing noticeable, currently have 215/35s on and no problems.
You maybe OK with the 195s on a 38et

280's can fit behind 15's
I was looking into 225/40's for next time, partly just to try something different :der: and partly to improve the lateral grip.Fast Guy said:

what offset on 16s will i need to clear 300mm of hispec brkes?
Nah, they were Toyo T1Rs. I thought they were pretty crap. My Dunlop 205/50/15s sp9000s seemed better.campbellju said:
There's a feature in one of the mags comparing tyres this month, sp9000s were compared to one of dunlops track tyres, sp9000s gave more feed back as to when they were on the limit, but not as much outright grip.
I was looking at goodyear F1's in that size but your experince just shows how much more important tyre make/model can be than specific details. maybe I'll get some really sticky 205's instead :twisted:
Thanks for the feedback
