Lightweight 16" wheels and tire sizes
I searched for a thread dedicated to 16" wheels and was only able to find one brief thread on 16" wheels with fat tires. If I wanted to stick with 16" rims:
1) What wheel options are people running? What offsets? Pictures?
2) Are you running a 245/45/60 to maintain overall diameter similar to the 245/40/17 on AP2's in the rear? Fronts 215/50/16?

225/50-16 are already similar diameter to 245/40-17 anyway (~.2" taller, vs. 245/45-16 being ~.1" shorter). They kept tire diameter roughly the same when they went from 16s on the AP1 to 17s on the AP2.
There's going to be a vanishingly small selection of fronts in 215/50-16, too.
OEM sizes: 205/55-16 fronts and 225/50-16 rears is pretty much it for street tires, unless you want to run 225/50-16 all around.

Thanks for the information. Based on availability of tire sizes it appears going to 17" wheels might actually work out cheaper in the long run due to many options in tires.

You would have more (and wider) size options in 17".
