Default Wheel sizes...

What is the maximum wheel Diameter and width you can have on a 2000 T/A w/o changing anything? I am thinking 19" in the back, and 18" in the front...

Thanks

I agree. In fact 17s look perfect.

touche!

I had 17'' c5 8.5s on my last bird...they looked great! I just got my new bird now, so im doing the process ALL over again.

Maybe c6 z06s with 9.5s hopefully 10.5s in the back...we'll see


17''s look great in IMO, and I go with the above, anything above 18'' looks fruity

17/18 combo maybe I wouldn't do 18's on all fours. 18/19 too big for my taste.

You really have to think about road conditions in your area. Short sidewall tires don't like Potholes very much. Another note is that big wheels are heavier and require more power to spin them. when I add the 18's I found that the car hooked up better. Of corse I had 16's to start with and the car would do a one lane drift on the 1-2 shift.
