I ran TSW Blades size 16x7.5 at 34 mm offset, first with 205/45-16 Yokohama AVS-Intermediates then 215/40-16 Goodrich Euro-T/A Radials. The BFGs were too soft and I bent two rims on a tar strip (yes, The Tar Strip From Hell, see my Web site). The rear tires only rubbed with passengers in the rear seat, regardless of the springs.

Since I couldn't find another Blade, I bought SSR Competitions size 15x7 at 42 mm offset shod with Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position tires. The rear wheels needed 1/4" spacers while the front s fit just fine even with NX brakes.

I found the Potenza S-03 to be the best tire I've ever used and that includes the Yoko AVS-I and Goodyear Eagle VR-50 Gatorback (showing my age).
