Default Help with Enkei rims

I was planning to get the Enkei DM5 rims for my SSM XA.

I plan to get it in 16s with a 42 offset with 205/50/16 tires. My car is lowered with TRD springs.

I have a few questions:

1) Will I have any problems with the wheels rubbing in the front and back? I was planning on putting OTG spacers in the rear.

2) Is 205/50/16 the correct tire specs to get?

3) Does anyone know how much these rims weigh? or where I could go to find out?

4) Does anyone know what anthracite looks like in person? From the pictures it looks black. Is it closer to black or grey?

Thanks in advance guys, just wanna make sure before I place any orders.

i can answer most of your questions.
tire size is spot on. i'd go wider, but that's just my preference.
you will not rub, OTG spacers on or off.
i hope you're getting a deal on those wheels.. enkei tends to overprice their wheels for what you get (IMO)..

weight.. ? i suggest calling your local enkei dealer.. or enkei themselves..

^^^ yea wider is better. For 7in wide wheels, you can go from 205 to 215 in width with 215 being a good size. Anthracite is like a satin black finish, similar to hyperblack but a bit darker.

If you're going for lightweight rims, I don't think these are it. Enkei has two types of rims for passenger cars, performance and racing. These fall into the first category, performance which are slightly lighter than most aftermarket rims, but are still heavier than their racing line by about 5-6lbs.

Thanks for the reply guys . A local shop gave me a quote of $800 with Falken Zeix 512 tires , mounted and balanced with hub rings and lugs . Not sure about these now though . I'am looking for lightweight 16's in black w/polished lip . Looking to not spend more than $1000 for everything . I was also considering 5Zigen fno1rc , but i dont think they make the black w/polished lip in 4 lug . Any other suggestions ? I'am trying to stay away from Rota ,ADR,Motegi etc.
