    Will 195 looks good on 16x7?
    My stock tires are 175/65/14. If I get 195, then I'll need 195/45/16 right?
    Can 195 really fix the rubbing problem? If not, then I think I'll just give up on the rims. :(

    195 50 16 will be OK.. it's only 1% larger than stock.. i'd say you should do that over 45series which puts you 3% UNDER where you should be (3% faster speedo)

    i had MR2 wheels on my car, ran 205 50 15's on them, and only rubbed in the front in a sharp right turn... that was on a SLAMMED coilover drop. i doubt you'll rub..

    195 is a bit of a stretch on a 7" wheel.. but on a 50 series tire, it should be OK

    Rubbing problem?

    Someone is selling his Enkie RPO-2 16x7 38+ offset for a good price.
    Do you think it will fit my 01 rolla or not? I'm not lowered yet, but will get Tein H tech soon which will only drop about 1.5" front and 1" back. Do you think I'll will have rubbing problem or not?

    Im pretty sure 38+ is what the TRD rims come in, which is the right offset.

    Those will rub on a 01. TRD rims come in +45 offset which is almost impossible to get on aftermarket rims. Even +40 will rub lowered without rolling your fenders. I have +40, and still had to roll the fenders.

    The 98-01 Corolla's are so werid. I can tell you for a fact that I have tried many combinations. The first one was Fittipaldi wheels with +39 offiset in 15". I first got 195/55/15 Pirelli's on those and they would rub like crazy. After much talk with the Tire Rack they suggested i get 185/55/15. I did and that cured my rubbing. Then I went to Mille Miglia 16" with 205/45/16's and a offset of +39. Those started to rub even after the fender was sllighty rolled. I had to finally exchange the wheels with the ASA's that I have now and they have an offset of 40+ and if I have enough weight in the back they may rub for a second, but overall they are OK. I almost never rub with those, and this is with rolled fenders.

    Anyway, sometimes I wish I would just have gotten the TRD rims and avoided all these problems! GL
