Uh, "M Sport"?

I don't know why people have this weird idea that wheel diameter is a limitation.
The stock wheels and tires have a max diameter of like 26", so technically, you can run a 25" wheel with tires that are 1/2" in sidewall.

I've seen FC's run 19's no problem, but performance suffers with that big of a wheel due to increased weight from the huge wheels.

Oh man, 25" wheels... that'd be sick. Chances are you would spend more on the wheels that you would buying the car!

Lol, can you even run on 1/2" sidewalls? I don't think you'd be able to have the pressure needed to run without screwing something up.

Imagine how big of rotors and calipers you could fit in there though.

It is M Sports says so on the side of the car. I even gave a link to the company and there is a distrbutor in the US that sells the bumper for 450 side for 450 and the rear for 450. There are also fenders. I wonder of there is anyone on the board that actually has this kit.

Most nice rims already cost more than the average FC.
