Im casting out the 20's for some clean looking 16's. I want a wheel and tire combo that will complement my mods; offering performance gains, and not look like . Im not looking for any particular brand of tire, but what profile tire would work and look nice with a 16 inch rim, give me an edge performance wise, and offer a good tire height that works good with 3.73 gears in the quarter mile. How wide of tire do you all think I can go with the two rims I have chosen so far below and which one do you think would be best(would like to be no less than 275 wide)


Ion 165 series
Size:16x10
Finish: Aluminum polished
Offset:-38mm standard
Lug patterns to choose from:
6x5.5 Chevrolet Silverado 98-04
(4) 455.00 shipped


MB Overdrive
16X8 8-165.1 -6MM (70764)
(4) $340.00 ~

Thanks in Advance

340 for one Discount Tire branded rim (MB)???
That's the one I'd choose, but wouldn't spend 340 for a 16" wheel.

It was 85.00 for one rim, I just did a little math for the cost of four, sorry for the confusion.

I'd go with the MB wheel, but is that backspacing going to look right? Its too early for me to do the math.

when you say backspacing, are you talking about the offset. I think both of these rims have a positive offset, meaning the mounting surface to the hub is on the rim side of center, which are the way the rims I have now are.

According to the chart on this page the 16x8 wheel has 4.25" backspacing and the 16x10 has 4". For reference, my 8 inch wide wheel has 5.5 inches of backspacing and sits just a hair inward from being flush. So those wheels may stick out a bit, especially the 10" wide rim.

I would go with some centerline 17's or the gmc-yukon rims http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GMC-S...QQcmdZViewItem

Ohh the qx56 infinity 18's but they are narrow

The GMC wheels are only 7.5 inches wide, they won't work since he wants at least a 275 tire on them.

Is that a real pic of Your Nissan in your sig?
That thing just doesn't look right........ Looks like a Dodge Durango front end with its cab body cut short and a mini bed bolted down to the frame.
Sorry, I just had to say it........
