Default 98 2.8 qua What are the biggest wheels I can put on.
My car is lowered with eibachs and bilstien sports etc. I have 225/45/17 on it now. Will 18" fit without rubbing, and how wide can I go on the wheel?

18x8, 19x8, assuming the correct offset and tire size.

19 x 8.5 assuming offset if correct....requires rolling fenders depending on ride height

I know somebody who had 9.5's and 18's and he was fine with minimal rubbing. he rolled his fenders, though.

Default Depends on the rim , suspension & tire. My 18" BBS CH w Bridgestone S-03 are rubbing.
Got Neuspeed sport springs & Bilstein sport shocks. Whenever I hit a dip in the road my front end rubs the tires.
