i got the same problem i got some stock 15's i like and they have some weenie freakin passenger tires on em and i want to put some bigger all terrains but i dont know what the largest i can put on the stock wheel. im not worried too much about rubbin as long as its only at full lock.

I have those same wheels that are on yours in the pic did you have to put any wheel spacers on or anything to make them fit? cuz when i was test fitting mine they rub slightly on control arm when turning and i was thinking about just trimming control arm to make them clear... did you have this prob at all? and what size tire is on yours?

The widest will be 12.5. This gives just slight rubbing at full lock only. Anything less should clear it with no problems.
