Need guidance from the tire and wheel experts. I think I've read 150 threads here and have it figured out, but just want to make sure.

I have an '03 MCS DS/DS that I plan on driving only on the street (agressively). Maybe an autocross or two at some point in the future. I don't plan on lowering the car and I live in an area where it snows occassionally, but I have a beater to drive when that happens.

I have decided to go with Rota Slipstreams in Full Royal Gunmetal (thats the gunmetal gray with polished lip). They come in 3 sizes:
1670 4X100 45 H56.1
1670 4X100 45 H67.1
1670 4X100 40

If I did my research correctly, the one I want is the 16" 4X100 45 with the 56.1mm hub. Is that correct? That one will not require a hubcentric ring; at least thats what the writeup on Webb Motorsports says.

The plan is to mount Falken ZIEX 205/50 16 on these. Do you see any problems with this setup?

 

ttt Anyone?

 

Yes, you are correct.
Rspeed.net carries both these rims in 16x7 and Falken ZE-512 tires and reasonable shipping by ground.
+45mm offset will work for both stock suspension and lowered MINIs.

 

^^^ as above the specs sound good! :smile:

 

Thanks guys! I checked RSpeed - always happy to buy from a sponsor, but I can get the wheels for $200 a set less than they want from a couple of different reputable places (not ebay). The tires are about the same from anyone.
