N90 Wheels look pretty good on MC's. They're up to 17x8's I think.

I considered 18" for my Regal but went with a 17" x 8.5" I found I had more options to run a taller tire with the 17" versus 18"+ and I wanted to match the size of my previous 15" rims in diameter and width so I have 275/50 and 235/50 on the 17" rims.

Check out Diavlo 666 on YouTube he has Gbody fest and just Gbody meet ups and they run 22's and 24's forgiatto rims or Rucci's on SS Montes and GNs and El Co's

Tire selection is limited for the 16" wheels you have, but 255/50R16's all around will fill up the wheel wells:

hello: I also use 16 x 8 rim. on my 86T I think it's a 8" with 245-50 tire and it does hit the inner plastic on full lock. Your right about tire selection .
What tire did you go with? I went with a BF Goodrich all season...
