Default tires & rims

I was wondering if anyone out there can help me! If I lower my xB with a Tanabe DF210 springs and put on a set of 16x7 rims. What size tires do I use and I need to know what size whould get rid of the wheel gap?? At least a 2 finger gap...Thanks in advance...

I personally have no expirence with the Tanabe. But I bet if you do some searching you could find some pic's and get some idea. I would think you would need either a 50 or 55 profile. That is what I used. I am back to 15's with 60 profile. I also run the TEIN S-tech. I love the wheel gap on mine it sits right on the tire. I also like the ride of the 60 profile. I have Konig Utralite 15's (11.5lbs ea) that are pretty stinkin' light. I get much better fuel economy with lighter wheels. 16's will not be a huge difference over stock, but the style will be on.

205/50's are the best tire size for 16x7

I don't know if you looked at my profile yet. But I do know that hayalex6 has 16's on his box. I met him the other night his box is nice!!!! Dude you should bug him for some pic's. I just looked at mine and I have a little more gap than he does.
