ANybody running big wheels? I know 16 is the standard since 15 is difficult to get tires for, but are there any 17/18" cars out there and did you have any problems with fit?

17X7s all the way around with 205/50 17 rubber. 1 inch spacers on all four. No problem fitting them. except on the right reat, it was a little tight so I milled a few millimeters off.

What kind of spacers did you use ?? Jaxdream |
