I LOOVE my aveo

[VeoLicious]

Hi VeoLicious, nice Aveo from what I can see in your avatar pic. Honestly, I think with your tinted tails, if you got tinted windows and did the headlight "Joey Mod" that Rabbit and I did you might be happier with the look of a black rim with a pink lip? I think it would look sick, then paint your calipers pink and your drums black. I would go 16x7" if I were you, if you don't plan to drop more than say 1.5" I would go with a 205/45R16 tire. Your speed would actually be 61.2mph when the speedo reads 60mph. 2% fast, no biggie. No problems with clearance and/or lowering springs with a +35et,+38et or +40et offsets. You will need 4x100 bolt pattern and hub-centric rings as Rabbit said.

yeah im definitly going with tinted windows. and i just saw the headlight "joey mod" . i think ill do both those first before i actually get my rims painted then decide if i wanna do the pink and black or pink and white rims. i like the pink caliper and black drum idea. if i were to paint my drums at all i would definitly go with black.

now whats the +35et offset stuff, what exactly does that mean?

Good point. I went black with both calipers and drums just so they don't stick out like a sore thumb from behind the black wheels...

haha i painted mine yellow, makes the rims and rotors stick out (the drums looked bad and i had only yellow paint :P ) they came out good though

These are the basics of wheel offsets, this info was borrowed from tirerack.com because I am too tired to type all this crap. The offsets I gave you are all Positive and will work for your car.
Offset
The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. The offset can be one of three types (measured in millimeters).*

Zero Offset
The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel.

Positive
The hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front wheel drive cars and newer rear drive cars.

Negative
The hub mounting surface is toward the back or brake side of the wheels centerline. "Deep dish" wheels are typically a negative offset.

If the offset of the wheel is not correct for the car, the handling can be adversely affected. When the width of the wheel changes, the offset also changes numerically. If the offset were to stay the same while you added width, the additional width would be split evenly between the inside and outside. For most cars, this won't work correctly. We have test fitted thousands of different vehicles for proper fitment. Our extensive database allows our sales staff to offer you the perfect fit for your vehicle.

*Backspacing, similar to offset, is the distance from the hub mounting surface to the inside lip of the wheel (measured in inches).

oh alright awesome thanks!! got it now.

Veolicious, what did you think bout the quote I gave? Do you want his info or are you gonna look around some more?

Could someone tell me what the maximum of all the numbers for the wheel measurements are so that they will fit without any rubbing or needing any other modifications. Mainly the sidewall and height and width of tire. I'm thinking 15 or 16 inch rims.

[Wolfman AK907]

Depends on what size wheels you definitely want. Also, you have to take into account if you want to lower the car or not.

[petrified.rabbit]

you'll want 7 inch wide rim, in a 40-32mm offset. but some spoke designs may still rub, but a small spacer will fix that most of the time.

unless you are going really low i recommend a 195/50r15 or a 205/45r16.

I am lower than most and rubbed with both of those, i ran a 205/40r16 and a 195/45r15 with no problems. But unless you plan on lowering like 3" or so, you will be fine with the first sets listed.
