I'm in the same boat...

I'm looking for some 16" rims to replace the oem 15" rims on my '96 900S. I beleive the stock 16" wheels are 6.5" wide, but most of the aftermarket wheels are 7.0" or 7.5" wide. I would like to stick to a 205/50/16 or a 205/55/16 because the next step up is 225/45 or 225/50 (Not much tire selection in the 215/50 size)
I'm concerned that a 7.5" wide rim might look "goofy" with only a 205-width tire on it. I would think the edge of the rim might stick out more than the edge of the tire, so I am looking for curb protection as well.
Hopefully, someone has this size combination and can share their thoughs on how it looks and performs.
Thanks.
Rick
