Depends what you mean by big? Like big as in wide? I'm running 17x9 up front with 275/40/17 tires and 17x10.5 in back with 315/35/17 tires.

i have 315's now and my left rear tire was hitting my tire when i made right turns, so i fliped the quad shock over to give me more room beside my tire. but if u get a 335 then there wont be enough room, so i will just remove them

well do u consider fliping something over a mod. its only 2 bolts. its easier than changing a tire. 315 is the widest u can fit

From what I've heard I don't think many people have had to flip the shock. I may be wrong but I think 315/35 will fit without any modifications to anything.

Theres this guy in my apartment complex with a 02 v6 running some 20inch Dubs. Dont know what tire size though. He could care less about any kind of performance though.
