Wheel size, how big can i go?

Hey guys,
I need some help, im thinking about ditching the OEM wheels for some nicer looking mesh wheels i have a basic idea of what i want (VMR v710) but id really like to know the setup that would work the best (stagger etc). I want something that will look great and still be practical as in not rubbing excessively.

Please help.

thanks

You should do some research in the Wheels & Tires forum to see what others have accomplished.

Do you track or AutoX your car ? It will change the tire size decision quite a bit.

As anything much larger than your stock 17" wheels will be even more susceptible to road damage, you might want to peruse the "Huge Pothole = Boom" thread started by someone from your town.

fortunately the city of san diego will pay for any damages, lots of people don't know that. 18's will be no problem, the roads here in my part of town are pretty nice though, thank you rich people with private communities
