assuming its a 16x7 rims

you want 205/45/16

and offset 40mm or less would be best... 42mm would probly fit but why cut it close.... i cant find the online offset calculator anymore :cry:

If im not mistaken wouldnt 225/45/16 be a bit to wide for a 16'7 rim. I would say the wides to play it safe would be a 215/45/16
