hey all 6gcers-
i was wondering...how wide can i get some rims without hitting anything/making it look like a low rider (the tires spilling outside of the wheel well) anyway, right now, i have a set of 7th. gen 15''x7'' wheel...but i'm looking for some more handling power...i.e. wider tires...plus they look awesome... any suggestions? shoot your thoughts on this post. . . . thank you, snapshotgt This post has been edited by Coomer: Nov 18, 2005 - 7:47 PM -------------------- Past: V6 Swapped 6G Celica, E46 BMW M3, Jeep Wrangler TJ

Anything over 8" is running close to rubbing during turns and other normal driving situations.
EDIT: not rubbing on wheel well, like a lowered car might, but on the suspension. The only way you could have 9" wide wheels is if you changed the offset and had functional fender flares.
