Does anyone know of 16" rims on our beloved roadster? I know on such a small car, a little goes a long way but I think 16"s could look amazing. I personally don't like the way the front tire and fender look together with stock "14ers", too much rubber. I have seen the 15" wheels and comp springs, they look great but still think there's room for more rim and less tire. Just checkin' in with you all.
P.S. I don't want to run low profile tires..... is THAT possible?????

Check wheel sticky above for pics of 16/17" rims.
16" and even 17" wheels will "fit", but you need to consider suspension/fender clearances.
If you run a 16/17" wheel you would need a low-profile tire, or clearance will be even tighter/impossible. And what do you consider a "low-profile" tire?
