Default Tire size help??

I picked up a set of Rx300 rims .... 16" x 6.5" for the es300....
IF i decide to keep them my plan was to change the tires and throw on the es3.
What size tire should I use??

Not sure the RX rims should go on the ES. Probably why you haven't got a specific response yet.

I thought the RX300 wheel is a 35mm offset therefore at only 6.5" wide should fit on the ES... I realize the optimum is 40-50mm offset on an es but it should work>>>???

For future referance, you can just go here. And match up the tire sizes for different rims.
