max wheel size ?
Hello everyone, just new the club. I have a quick question pertaining to my 87 gxl. Just wondering what is the biggest set of wheels I can fit on my car ? Reason being is that I have a set of (4) lexus rx330 whells sitting in my garage. I test fitted them and they fit perfectly. They are 18x9's , So if I go with a low profile tire setup, you think I will have enough clearance for turning without rubbing the inner wheel well? Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

thanks for the advice. But what do you guys think is a better setup for it. 17's with 205 50 r17's be a better setup? Say, is300 wheels are that size.

It would look pretty gay, but the wheels i had on my car before i got my FD rims were 18x9's with 235/40/18 fronts and 245/35/18 rears. No clearance issues. Glad i got rid of them though, the heavy rotational mass they added was very noticable and the wheels were just plain ugly.

Thanks for the tips. Sounds to me like I'm gonna have to look for a set of decent looking after market wheels. Most likely 17's tho. Cause I just ordered some Tein springs. One inch drop on front and back. They should ride nice too, read some good stuff about them.
