16" x 7" rims on a 90 GTC VNT?

Looking at some wheels and most of what I find that I like the look of are 16x7. I know the stoc k were 16x6. Would this cause any rubbing? Anyone reccomend a good tire or site that has good tire deals?

Ok.
Any help is appreciated as always. :big grin:

Easily fit . I have 17 x 7.5's on an Omni, so those will fit easily. Someone on here has 18 x 7 or 7.5 on a daytona, and anything that'lll fit a 'tona will fit your car too...Overall tire circumference will be your deciding factor, as well as wheel offset-try to stay as close to 40mm offset as you can, + or - 2-5mm.
Somebody on this site has rims for sale from a wheel shop he works at-they look great, are priced reasonably, and weigh very little, 11-12 lbs for 15", 14-15 lbs I believe for 16".

Cool.
I was worried about rubbing.
I didn't want to turn the wheel and shred my tires. Heh.

I'll try to find the rims for sale.
As it stands now, I'd really like black or gunmetal rims since the GTC is red. I think that would look nice.

WOW!
Nice pic.
VERY pretty.
I hope mine turns out that well. =)

I thought about maybe going to 17" because the Tire/Wheel packages I'm finding are the same price or cheaper than for 16". Weird but true.

Ok.
Will research some more.

Thanks for the help and NICE CAR!

(Wanna give me some pointers?)"thumbs up

Thanks. BTW, for anyone curious, those are CSA Ultra's and I don't know, Nankang 17's or some junk. I wasn't trying to be fancy with tires, but they seem to work (110km/hour clover leafs with the 17's and Eibach's and the car doesn't lean, sway or squeal :>)

What kind of pointers? Don't buy one from Jersey that sounds like it has rod knock (that's the car sitting behind it in the picture) :> Other than that, I'm sure I'm not the only one willing to share on these cars :>
