the thickness is up it you.low profile will be more and the width will cost more too.i have 195's cause i dont need bigger but i think i wouldn't try past a 215 cause it will hit the rod.

ha ha ha.dude dont get 17's unless you have 3-4 hundred to spend on some s*** tires every year.i have 15's and they're the mini srt rims with a 195 tire.i just painted them gummetal silver.if you want big huge rims then i would go chrome but i'd say anything bigger then a 17 you'd have to lift.i like my rims cause its simple and easy bro but do what you wana do.make a style and stick with it.

i get my faulkin tires for 60 dollars a tire.... i smoke them in one summer... (damn gas pedal) but i am not going to spend 100 on a tire to just spend more the next year... not smart...

i run 17s, i like them... i never can remember the tire size i have though.. but it works well, bought them as a mounted and ballenced package and bolted them up the same day... they r in need of some tlc though, need to work on getting the clear off, starting to flake..... i have been kinda wanting to run a 16 in the front just for alittle more tire.. but i am not sure, prolly would look dumb... so i will stick to smoking the 17s every year... damn boost sometimes have to show off alittle bit... these tires have been the best set i have owned.... lasted me around 3 years and still look new













oh yeah, i have not driven it in two and a half years.... oops, my bad guys

As long as any other vehicle...as long as you KNOW how to take care of it(And that doesn't just mean oil changes).

I have been looking for rims similar to those for my wagon, maybe some cragars but they dont make them in mm offset! I would like some bullet styles similar to '00 mustangs!
