The sky's the limit m8...

John Bees (the bodyshop thats fitting mine) said that he could get 20"s to fit comfortably.... and unless you've got ?600 a wheel to spend on "decent" big rims you may as well just get 18"s or 19"s....

I'm going to america soon so i hope to get West Coast Choppers, Jesse James to make me some chrome 19"s to fit mine but their $800 plus tire each so i might have to give it a miss or the missus will kill me while were over there.

Anyway, as i said put what ever you want under and they still shouldn't scrub on a 40mm drop

If u remember lancys nova. (cover of revs a while ago)

That had a wide arch kit one and 7.5" x 19" team dynamic dyablos

On the rear aches you can see where he has had to cut it away cos of the tyre.

I was after 20's but cant find any that are thin enough so I'm sticking with 19's now.

Have you got an idea of which wheels ur getting yet?

i was thinkin bout gettin OZ Titans, but il probably only go for 17''s, maybe 18's if the cash flow cheers up a bit!

even with a wide arch kit it dosent automtically allow big wheels you still need to carry out modifications to the arches, depends if you are widening the running gear or reversing the offset of the wheels!
