Opinions on 16x8

Hey guys, just a quick question. What are your opinions on this width for a NB?
I'm in the process of ordering a set and pretty undecided on increasing the width.

Thanks,
Mike

tyres for 16s are limited and expensive.

What offset?

What size tyres are you planning on?

it will work but i think unless you need the space for brakes its pointless for the reasons of weight and expense of tyres.

15 x 8 works well on our cars. 6ul's are a good option.

+1 on what everyone has said.

i'm running 16x8 +20 lowered.

nice fit, but tyres (ku31) were 190 a corner... for 205/45/r16

I'm actually looking for some 15x8's for my next set of rims, <100 a corner? yes please.

Tyres arent that expensive.

My last two sets of 215/40/16's have been $110 ea from Tempe tyres.

Bargain.
