Wheel/Tire n00b, need advice b4 I blow my cash

Originally posted by ripthesystem

Checked www.tirerack.com and they said that with 16inch rims I should get 205/45/16 tires. Is this accurate?

Also- If my new wheels weigh more than stock, will I need my speedometer recalibrated?

See I told you they were n00b questions.
Thanks for any/all help!

That width should be fine. You could go with slightly wider tires if you wanted to as well. Personally, I'd probably go with 215 rather than 205....look at the Tire Rack plus sizings.

As far as spedometer recalibration, it has absolutely nothing to do with weight, it has to do with diameter. If you get the right sized tires then your total diameter will be the same or very close to it, like 1% off kinda close. It's only a problem if you go too far off, like 5-10%.
