    I get three car magazines, and don't remember which one it was in, but some guy had some huge wheels, like 26" or something, on a fairly small car. Just too much bling...

    I tried to find the magazine to scan the picture and give specifics, but I couldn't find the picture. It was in the last month or so...

    i lovered too:D sorry couldnt resist.
    that family car reminds me of a lot of "all terrain" vehicles ive seen around here. funny i never see them anywhere other than on asphalt though, unless they are upside down off the side of the asphalt.
    edwards, take a good picture of your car and post it. if you arent a master of fotoshop there are others on this site who are. you could ask them to paste in pics of whatever rims you want to check on the car. probably more accurately than the cruddy software at the tire shops(y)

    Here is another example of a car with 18's in the back and 17's in the front. I also agree that anything bigger than an 18 would be a little too big. And I like the look of having 17's in the front, it seems to fit very well. The back has been lowered about 1.5" and the front about 2- 2.5"

    Honestly, I like the 18-17 setup...I have seen it on a couple cars lately, and it really is a good looking combo. I was originally thinking 16-15 or maybe 17-16, but now I am thinking some more.

    Let's see that 18-18 combo, it just might look good :yup:
