thats someones car i found on the internet with 19s, so you get the idea on what it looks like..

18s would be the biggest i go, and look the best, but everyones different.

You could fix 19's but your ability to make tight manuvers in small area would be no longer possible.....

I've got 18's and the radius is bad enough....

Why would I need a camber kit to run bigger then 17"s? I thought the camber kit just straitened the wheels after the lowering springs. Currently my car is stock but I wanna buy some wheels for it soon (like tomorrow).

Hmmm I guess I'm not understanding. A tire mounting surface should be strait no matter what size wheel is on it until its lowered or lifted. Im new to this car so I might just be retarded.

If your roads blow, 19's will bend on the first bump you hit.

19s!!!???? Hahahahaha!!!! Dude you bought the wrong car you should sell it and buy another Jeep or a Mini Truck or an old MC.

It's a sports coop even though you don't have the 4g63-T it's designed to be low to the ground you would probably hafta cut the fenders off just to go down the road. :)

I saw a guy with big wheels on a sports coop (Sorry I forgot what it was) and trust me it did not look good.

You remind me of them guys in my hood with 22's on J body cars and SUV's! :lol:

yeah i thought big rims were for suv's and what not, not tuners.

tuners should keep around 15-17's even track cars i believe wont go bigger thn 16's......mitsubishi will never be featured in dub magazine unless the car get's completely butchered into a show car with 19's lambo doors a big retarded kit and a big system and they would say the performance is only an intake.

come on people let's be more realistic when we get bigger rims the tires will be super thin so if you hit a small bump, guess what? there goes your ride.

:auto: <- just bought a caddilac. THROW SOME D'S ON THAT ****!!!!

Ok I guess that's enough tagging on. I'll go with the 18's. How much lowering will look right? I wanna order everything I'll need so its at my home when I get there.

I wouldn't go any bigger then 18'.

2 reasons.

1: any bigger is useless for any type of even remotely trying to handle.

2: Your brakes will look dumb because they will be so small it just will not look right.

17's FTW
