Offset Question
If I stick with the stock wheel and tire sizes, do I need to be concerned with the offset distance? If so, what am I looking for? Will 35-40 mm work? Thanks.

I have Toyo Proxi TPT, 205/60/16 with the factory 16 x 7 rim. The tires have only 5k miles on them and I just want a new wheel for them. All the 16 x 7 wheels I am looking at have an offset between 35-45 mm. Will this cause any problems.

Why?? Why do I need bigger tires and wheels? I know everyone does it but, why? Looks? Performance? Before I think about bigger, tell me why.

Stock Tires Size Offset ??
I know the offset on my 2000 TL is +55. My question is, how little of offset can I get away with. Seems it is very difficult to find 16" wheels with offset higher than +45. Will +40-45 cause any problems? Thanks.
BTW....Going with a bigger wheel is not an option. I want to stick with the 205/60/16.
Looking at Tirerack and Tires.com, they all recommend 16 x 7 wheels with offsets from +38 and up. Are they wrong?

if you are spending the money why not atleast plus size 1 or 2? the over all cost isnt going to be much if any of a difference.
+38 is way to low. i personaly wouldnt drop below a +47 no matter what size i was running

I am looking at some 17" and 18" packages on ebay. Are BSA and Ikon good brands? I have been able to find some offsets on BSA and they offer +45. I have not been able to find any on the Ikon wheels. Does any one know anything about these?
