Complete noob questions - Wheel/Tire Size

Hi everyone,

I've never bought new wheels for any car - this year, I plan on keeping my winter tires on my stock wheels and buying new wheels and summer tires. So essentially I'll have a summer/winter wheel and tire set.

I'm looking at these --> https://www.oakos.com/ENK-3797908035WP.htm

My question is, how do I know what size tire will fit onto these wheels? Do I need the center caps for $100 more?

My FRS is completely stock suspension, etc. I would like to lower it in the future but for now it will be stock. Do I need spacers, or anything else like that for these wheels?

Basically, I'm a complete noob looking for some help understanding before I buy.

For a simple answer, between a 245/40 and a 275/35 sized tire. You don't need a spacer, but you may get rub at full turn lock left and right. Check the links I've posted and reply after reading at least 10 pages worth of posts from each

The first number in the tire size is width in mm. Second number is the percentage of the width that it is tall. So a 275/65 will be a monster truck tire compared to a 205/65. Ok, read on
