How Big is your Bling Bling
I'm just polling all the mid 90'* bonnie owners (94 to be specific) and see what rim/tire sizes you guys are runnin.
I got a 94 se and am lookin for a new set of rims but I'm not sure what size could fit on the car. I've been lookin at a pair of 18s, 19s or even 20s
I'm just wondering what will fit unto my wells. I am looking and modifying the suspension a bit so nothing is too out of bounds.
Thanks

Personal Opinion here but, bigger is not always better. 20 in rims are HUGE. I think 18 is max on a car. It'* just not proportionate when you get inton 19'* and 20'*. beside, they are a lot more expensive, not to mention the higher price of the tires too.

the biggest I would go would be 18'*. A friend put 20'* on his and you barely have any clearence from the bottom of the shock to the top of the tire. I could barely slide my hand underneath it.

Ok kids
So I got one pro 20
and two pro 18.
I was hopin in this mod to get a slighly bigger foot print to help in performance . I know 18'* are ideal because they give you just about enough sidewall but not to much. Has anyone tried putting a wider rim on their vehicle? The stock aluminums I have are 7in with a full positive offset(not sure if using right terms :?: ).
I wondered if people have found different widths. offsets, and diameters that work.
Anyone else got an opinion or expierenced a rim upgrade?
