Alright I have a line on some 16's for a good price they are 38 ofset. I am pretty sure this will work on my 2001 tiburon. But the question is will some 195/50r16 tires work I know they will fit the rim but will that cause any clerance issues. I don't think they will but i want to double check.

The tire size you mentioned will work but why don't you use a 205/45?

Well that's a decent deal then. I just thought you would like a wider tire but for that price, go for it.
