I agree I think 15'' is the biggest you should go on a FB, and only if they're old style wheels, example:



If you want new wheels, get some panasports, and get rid of the body kit. You car would look much nicer then.

you will NOT be albe to see your coil springs, chris.

go out in your driveway and look at my car. you cant see them. thas why i didnt bother doing touch up paint on them cause you cant see them.

honestly, are you doing to be professionally racing the car? no, so go for what you think looks best (i would go 17's, just cause i think they are better looking rims).

my next rims willl probably be 16's, but maybe 17's if they fit.

I regret not going to 17's...Much better tire selection along with better looks IMO.

Ajc shows it best....Those pictures really prove the point!
