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

clip if you slide a little look into antisway bars to help with that
a more minor note strut bars will help was well


I want to order Tein Superstreet coilovers, ST sway bars, and currently have on backorder Cusco Front/Rear strut bars and lower frame brace. I think once I can get all those peices I will have a close to perfect suspension, I also am gonna look into gettin the door Jam braces that DG is or was makin.

Clip how are you "sliding out" on a FWD car?


when I was rocking the 185's and the 205's of my GT and ST wheels, the ass end being nothing back there weighing anything would always swing out on me around hard corners because of weight transfer.
