ive seen many similar topics on different forums guess i should have paid more attention so i knew for now. im debating between using current "extra" money + tax returns for either a vacation or new tires/rims or just save it.

if i go tires/wheels i want them to be the same size front and rear so i can still rotate. not sure if i should get 17s or 18s, they are only going to have street tires if i get to the point i want a "track set" with slicks or w/e ill mount them on the OEM wheels probably. whats the widest i could run and not have to roll the fenders or cut or modify anything, i could just throw them on and not have any major rubbing issues. the style i want i could get 17x9.5, 18x9.5, or 18x10.5 (see link http://www.wheelreplicas.com/c5.htm ). and for those wheel sizes what are the biggest tire i could safely run on each?

That's Casey Quinn's street mod car. He's in SoCal with us Mike. Not only does it look good but its fast too ;-)

Does anyone happen to know the offset of those 17x12's?
what else did he have to modify other than the obvious flare of the rear fenders and typical 17x11" mods?
Shazaaam! those look good!
