Default another s-coupe rim question

hello there,
i want to buy some new rims for my 93 s-coupe turbo: the question is?
what should be the E.T. for some 16 inch rims 195cm in witdh(?) and 45 for rubber height?
Also would you recomment some 15's or some 16's on a 93 s-coupe ?
(and what would be the e.t. on some 15's)

im gonna say go with 15 for racing. if you are serious my friend races a H#@$A civic and he has 15 in front and stock 13 in the back. 16 are fine but they weigh a little more. You want the least amont of weight on your motor possible.

15x6.5 or 15x7 with 195/50 or 205/50 with 40-42mm offset would probably be the best choice.

You could run a 40 series tire on a 16" rim, but it would probably give a harsher ride. Your also more likely to risk damage to the rim unless you have very good roads to drive on.

I think 15/6.5" with 195 50 R15 are the best size rim for scoupe.
16 and 17 are not good for scoupe.

I'm running on 205/40R17 with 1cm spacers on each side and this works perfect for the scoupe.
Mine is lowered in the front with 3.5cm and in the back it's about 3cm lower because of the ICE and sometimes I've got some rubbing in the wheel space in the back.
But I've removed my rear seat for my spare Rim so I don't have got this rubbing anymore.
