Matthew H Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 welcome to evo i would say the same as above 17`s or 18`s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 17's are a safe bet bigger the wheel u get the less rubber round it. only having a little lick of rubber round your alloy looks great but every pot hole is liable to buckle your rims ive got a set of 17's in my garage that are bent to Fcuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some 17' designs look a decent size.......... some 18' wheels don't look bigger than 17 imo!! Ditto about fucked wheels in garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambo Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Depends what look your after mate, 18's will go as i found, and they cleared ok with a 40mm drop but to be on the safe side i had my arches rolled, mine are khans as well. 17's are the safe bet though and a lot more common, up to personal choice at the end of the day, i personally would find it very hard to go back to 17's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
