I wanted to look at some chrome rims after work, but I have no idea what size they take! My E is still in the shop. I have the AWD EX. Anyone know what size they are? I think they are 16, but I don't know how wide. Thanks!

So you replaced the original tires? I was wanting to keep mine. Do you know what size the originals are? I don't have my manual with me. :(

Ok, I went to look at 16" rims, but the catalog had 16x7, 16x8,and 16x10 inch rims. The sales lady said that was the width of the tire. Anyone know which ones will fit the original tires? My car is still in the shop. :(

16x7 16x8 the 16x10 would also work but they would to have a +offset so that they would not rub on the inside ofcoarse that might make them stick out to far I would stick to the 16x7 or 16x8! I am a part time manager for a four wheel accessory shop by the way and sell wheels and tires all day long!

Thank you so much for the advice. I wanted to shop around some more, but figured why look when I'm not sure which ones will fit! You know more than the sales people I've talked to so far! :)
