hey guys i just bought a stock 93 eclipse and i hate the wheel covers or whatever you want to call them and they are only 14"
i am wanting to go with a bigger rim

what is the biggest i can go without causing problems ?

i was thinking 17s or 18s
and what size tire

also is the bolt pattern 5 x 100 or 5 x 114 ?

i have read both and want to make sure


thanks
