Post by: brooksie on January 20, 2005, 10:50:28 AM
obviously dependant on offset / width etc but i guess 18\'s are no problem ??

i wouldnt go with 18\'s if your looking to get performance out of the car.  18" wheels are for show only if used on the FC and would just slow the car down compared to putting 16"-17" in there.. but im not flaming the use of them im just giving my 2 cents i would still love to see these wheels on your car lol  :wave
