    Best wheel & tire combo

    This is my car



    she is just a bit lower now, due to that picture being taken a while back.....

    She's on Vogtland Springs and Bilstien Sport Shocks

    My question is what would be the best wheel size (including ET) and rubber combo to be at least tucking somewhere!

    I'm not afraid of rolling fenders due to my paint being shart.....

    -Thanks!

                Good plan.

                Good suspension, then wheels.

                            225s are more my style, but if you want to be slammed with mad stance yo, typically a little stretch is obligatory.

                              I was thinking of it more for filling the fenders and cornering performance. I'm a generation too old to understand the "stretch" style.
