Congrats on the new car, keep it around and dont "rice" it up, use the search button to get results but sometimes that won't help even. i'm not sure how wide you can go, it all depends on wheel offset really. adding widebody fenders can make your choices much more variable. i know stock tires (for Turbo II) are 7" wide, i've heard up to 9" in back maybe 8" in front i dunno
