I have a set of Fuchs in 6" x 16" headed my way. Will let you know what size I end up with.

What width rims do you have? The skinny pre-A ones or wider aftermarket ones? I'd also like to hear how the 16 x 6 wheel/tire combo will fit, especially in the rear wells.

Have the wheels but not the C brakes. Leaning toward Potenza RE71R in 195/55R16 on all 4 corners.
