Yeah, 17's would probably be the biggest you'd want to go. I have 5-Z FNO1RC 17x7 all around with 205 40's. I think I need a wider tire though. I also have 19x7.5 rims that I haven't installed yet (waitng for tires to arrive), but that' only gonna be my "cruising" rims.

Do put up a pic when you get those, 19's are rediculous on an FC!

He said something at one time or another that he liked the way the pic looked at that angle as opposed to the other. Something about his wallpaper.

My 1/4 is slightly slower because of the bigger wheels...

just for the record the increase in grip and cornering experienced was most definetly the increase in rim size, the best way to explain it is that its like using a longer lever on a ratchet. when running stock sized wheels there is roughly 5" of rubber for roughly the same overall diameter as the 17" rim and tire. but on the 17" you have only about 2" of tire and alot more straight up stiff *** rim

i ran 17s recently but took'm off...i hated the lag..17s r too much. i rather just use 17s if imma run it at the show...but i think 16s are the highest for driving and performance wise.
