rims and tires with this suspention

so i was wanting to get some 16X7 all around or 16X7 up front and 16X9 rear and tires. i was wondering what you guys use as far as either or these setups work. im also planing on droping the car w/ the racing beat suspention kit so like 1-1/2''. so with that in mind. and with 16's what offsets schould i use and what tire sises for either of the 2 set ups. thanks allot guys!

I think this setup would work very well for an FC. I would use a 225/50/16 front and 245/45/16 rear. You can do up to 8" wide up front with OE style struts and lowering springs. In 16x8 +30 to +35 would be good and rear with the same offsets, up to a +45 if you have to. The lower the better.

From what I've seen available a +35 front and rear would be best in any of the widths you've chosen. A +40 will work up front but IMO is a bit high of an offset with the 225/50, however it is commonly done with GTUs wheels.

The hardest thing about this is what wheels you can find in this setup. do you already have something in mind?
