You should be able to fit up to a 225 in front and 245 in the rear with those offsets/widths. The sizes you list are much shorter than the stock tires, which will throw the speedo off and hurt milage on a street car, but it does give a gearing advantage and a lower center of gravity which is good if it's for autocross or track use. I think it'll also look a little funny on a street car to have tires that small in the wheel wells.
I'd reccomend a 225/50/16 and a 245/45/16 on those wheels.

Ah, in that case you'll probably need to get a thin spacer for the front (5-10mm) as those springs give even less room than stock or coilovers.
Those offsets are on the high end of what fits, so it'll be closer to the suspension than the fenders, so you shouldn't need to modify the fenders at all.

The shorter of the two lengths in the rear and the longer of the two in the front will give about 1" longer all around. The rears require that the hub be removed, which basically means replacing the bearing, but it's a good idea to do it anyway if it hasn't been done already.
You don't need specific metric spacers, universal ones fit fine, something between 1/4" and 7/16" should fit fine.

You don't have to use spacers in the rear, so you could eliminate the studs and spacers back there if money's really that tight. Besides, the costs to get them in the back are a lot more than the front, either in terms of your time or paying for someone elses time, as there's pressing and bearing replacement involved. I was "lucky" and had the studs ready to go when my bearing died, so I had the shop replace them at the same time (the only time I've ever had a shop work on my car, it was winter and I don't have a press).

Front hub dust cover interfering with wheel center cap.
This is on 350z wheel. I ground out the nissan emlem and found a nice mazda decal to cover the now bare plastic center cap. So yeah, does anyone know of a smaller or rounder profile dust cap that will fit the front hubs.
Thanks
and incase anyone was wonder 350z wheels fit great.

^You think so? See, I really don't know much about how anything is going to look on any car (as far as offsets are concerned). Obviously it seems as if lower offsets are better for fronts.
