Re: rim and tire???

you can put 18s on pretty safely...what you gotta understand is as your rim size increases your tire height should decrease so that your overall height/diameter of the total setup is the same as stock or just a bit bigger. That way you can run bigger wheels, just smaller sidewall tires.
