Nate, I have run 16x6.5 (38mm offset) and 16x6.5 (27mm offset). Neither have posed problems with one person on board. With more load, the rears are supposed to rub, but I have only had that once with the 38mm offset rims. CW says, stick to 6.5 or less. check this out: http://www.sacsaabs.org/ go to the FAQ page on rims. The '79-'87 rims are less plentiful than the later ones based on bolt circle. KeithG "Nate t.
