Tire Noob (2). Help

Tire Noob (2). Help
I have the stock setup at the moment... on my 2.0 de...
Wheel Width:6.5Tire Profile:60Tire Width:205Tire Diameter:
16.0Front tires: 205/60HR16.0Rear tires: 205/60HR16.0
WTF does all of this mean!?!?!

I need a breakdown, i need pictures of nice setups, i need tips and ideas..

Here is the breakdown of what i would like ----- 17 or 18in rims... bronze preferrably.. I would like low profile tires but wider stance ... i don't want to have to install anything else so im staying away from camber kits and whatnot... (even though the car is fatter at the back and dumped it would look nice without looking so straight, ya kno?)

Thanks for reading.. looking forward to some good ideas and what type of numbers i should be looking for!

PS i like some of the things iv seen at Tire Rack.com, but i dont know if i order a wheel + tire package, if i can change the tire sizes.. bad enough i dont even know what the numbers mean.......

Google what tire sizing and ratings and wheel sizing numbers stand for. Not that hard to do. You also gave yourself the answer in the post itself.

Camber kits are only involved when lowering a car, nothing to do with just changing wheels/tires.

If you order a package there is no need to change the tire size. As they are generally selling you the optimal sized tire for that wheel.

I would get 17s because rubber is much more expensive for an 18in rim.
