There's info out there. Do a search and you'll find it. Although I do like the idea of having all the info, including rim diameter, width and offset in one place. Most people put one or two but rarely all three.

ive seen quite a few threads. but its nice to have it all in one spot. and people are rarely listing the combo together.... which is sorta important if you want to go hella flush :headbang:

and if you guys arent into the thread idea.... no problem i understand. mods feel free to edit/delete

15x6.5
38 offset
195/50/50
coilovers
no spacers
cut the rear spring pearch and beat the inner lip of the rear fender a tiny bit to clear the outside of the tire...

13x5.5 (4x100)
38mm offset
175/75 Kumho's
cut stock springs (2 full coils front, 1.5 back)
Gr2 shocks
Aspire brake swap
No spacers
Rear tires rub minimally on fender lip when hitting a big bump (rolling the fender lips would fix that)

You didn't just rolled the fenders but flared them quite a bit too!

Not that it matters much but my tires are actually 175/70/13 and NOT 175/75/13 like I posted before. Next set will be 185/60/13 and a little fender rolling.

Best bet is too find some wheels and post up some pics on here and see what you gotta do the make them fit.. 16's will rub and need to roll fenders alot of work, but looks awesome.. 15's depending on back spacing fit in front and spacers rear no rubbing with mine 195/45/15 i rub in the rear with about 500 lbs of people in the car when i hit bumps. 14's are a safe bet if you want to go bigger and not have issues of course anything small will fit no problems...

^ That's not necessarily true. A 13-inch wheel that with RWD offset and maybe 7-inches wide would definitely cause some problems with the fenders. And if the offset is to high (42+) you also have problems with the spring perches (which may be fixed using spacers). You have to find a balance between the wheel width and the offset no matter how big the wheel diameter is. That's why having a list like this helps others.
