what wheel spec is best?

I'm looking to changing my set of wheeLs to a bit bigger rims like 16's. .
i don't wanT those that goes out of the fender to avoid getting much dirt and mud on the sides, and also i am planning to drop it down real low and i dont want to have rubbing issues when i do so.

What rim width and offset would you guys suggest?

I dont know much abouT these stuffs so i would much appreciate everybody's heLp.

Thankz in advance. .

I think this really depends on your engine and how much performance you need. If you have the 1.3 iDSI engine, you will be happy with 195mm tire width.

Other than that, I'd suggest 7x16 or 7.5x16 +40 on 205/45/16 or 205/40/16. Maybe you can check out the tires and wheels forums on this board, there are a lot of pictures concerning these sizes.

16x6.5 or 16x7 will be enough as long as you make sure you get +45 offset or higher. +42 offset is pushing it already but can still fit.

I run 16x7 wheels with +45 offset, shod with 205/45R16 rubber. No rubbing at all.
