Re: whats the biggest rim??

You can safely run any stock 3rd gen wheel/tire combo (245/50R16s). You can run 17x9.5s (275/40R17s) with 4th gen offset if you use 2" bolt on spacers front and rear (or a 4th gen rear and 2" front spacers, like I did). You can also run 17x11s with 315/30(or 35, can't remember)R17s on the rear with the spacer or 4th gen rear, but it's a much tighter fit.
