Can you go any bigger than 18's without tubbing out your wells, rolling fenders and all that goos stuff? I am curious to know as well cause I'll be buying some rims and tires soon.

Whatever you do, please don't get 20s. There aren't too many cars that'll pull of 20s in a classy way.

Go with the 18" Saleens, Black with crome lip, or crome would look awesome. I agree about the 20"s though, I know u live in my town and im preety sure you seen that blue hatch and purple hatch on 20s it looked awefull.

Since you have the 5lug Conv. you think about going with the Black BBS SVT Cobra wheels, those would look bad ***. Thats what im going with when I do My 5 Lug conv.
