have one made from one of the peeps that do that stuff....they have the diameter needed for the lug pattern and like a 13-14" wheel...and it has to be by 8 due to the fender clearance...dont go any larger...you can go smaller...although I wouldnt recommend it!!! with a 13-14" by 8, you can put on up to the largest tire this car allows in the front which is a 275 and you can throw like something stupid on it to fit that wheel that you had made...it would be a combo like...275/85R13-14"....this is my theory though....if you look to the right of the QUICK REPLY box....SJM...something like that for our fittment....NITTOS make good draggers as well...just find a good fat boy wheel....??? this is what Im looking for....havent got that deep into it yet...but now im at it thanx to you guys....lol

even with custom made wheels. 13-14" are pretty impossible, our rotors are 12.7" or 323mm big. A 16" wheel can fit if your lucky. My audi has similar sized brake 4 piston bembos, with 320mm rotors. It has 16" wheels on it. How ever there are only like 4 known 16" wheels that will fit over the brakes. With the right offsets it is completely possible now that i have thought about it. But its gonna take alot of research and time test fittting wheels to fit.
