16" is not that big on these cars. Remember that the standard overall tire diameter is about 26"-27" So even with a 16" wheel you are looking at a 5" profile. If you go "low pro", the wheel/tires are going to look too small...unless that is what you are going for.

If you really want to go LOW profile, I would suggest, a big brake conversion, and 18" wheels.Comment

I have 245/45/17's and want more sidewall. The wieght of the car will cause some issues with potholes and crap and wil lresult in bending the wheel. I found that out the hard way with my protege and running 215/40/17's. Bent the shit out of those wheels....
I'm gonna go with a 255/50/17 on the wagon when I get new tires. Stock diameter is 27" on the vics (215/75/15 225/70/15, 225/60/16). Mustang stock diameter is 26" (225/60/15, 245/45/17)Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

MrLTD is right...remember...the lower the profile (sidewall) the harder the ride..and pot hole pinch will cause blistering in the side wall...The taller the sidewall the softer the ride...President He Man Woman Haters Club

thats for sure... I noticed a big difference in feeling road imperfections going from 70 to 60 profile. I wouldnt go any lower myself, but with a 17" or so bigger wheels you probably have to.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements
