Rim sizes, numbers etc

[waffelhead]

Hi guys, I'm looking at getting some 16" rims for my stock 98 dc2. Can someone explain the difference between these two for me. And other than getting tyres for them, is it a straight fit on? I've tried doing some searching about rims etc but was getting myself confused and lost.

GT3 16x7.0 40 5X114.3 73 Royal White
GT3 16x7.0 40 4X100 67.1 Royal White

the 5x114.3 and 4x100 is the number of studs x the spacing between the diagonal studs

i think your 98 dc2 is 4x100

Yeah im still using the orignal 4 stud. so if i was to buy those rims, just a matter of getting tyres and done?

yeah pretty much, It should fit pretty good.

16x7 +40

4x100

and for tyres, Something like 205/45/16 is good.

(p.s. dont get nexen tyres ==)

My uncle has a friend up there who runs a tyre joint somewhere near ontario, and was telling me he can get me tyres from there. They would be just as good from there as it would be here right? so if i tell my uncle i need 4 (205/45/16) tyres. should be fine?

whats some good brands to get? i dont want expensive ones as i dont do track work, just something good for the street.

I have 16x7 4x100 +44 Work CR Kai with 205/45 tyres.

I have approx 4mm between tyre to suspension struts and less space between outside of tyre and guard. I don't scrape during full suspension travel or during turning at all, and my guards are not rolled either.

I think +40 might be just ok, very close though.

Thats pretty close lol. I havent had my car lowered yet, so once they go on ill get it lowered just enough so that i dont have any issues

With my setup I've driven the open road fully loaded boot and back seat and two passengers over those big sweeping drops and rises at high speed (100-110km/h) getting full suspension travel with no scraping or nasty bumps, so very happy about that.

I'm interested to hear how you go, keep us posted

Anyone know of a good place to order some ROTA GT3's?
