Width of wheels

  Top of Page

Hey guys ive just bought a 99 Liberty RX wagon, and want to pimp it out, looking at 18's and even 19's if i can. All i wanted to ask was..... Whats the max width of the wheel i should go? obviously dont want scrubbing and ive heard standard (bigger wheel) tyre should be around 215 -225 wide. So am i able to fit 8" wide wheels or do i have to stick to 7.5" wide.

Thanks Guys Beau

I wouldnt go any larger than 8" wide, but you have to consider the offset also. 8" wide with the correct offset is fine.

it also depends on how low you go.

my MY00 rx is lowered 2.5 inches and i have 18 x 7.5 with 215/35 and i had to get my guards pumped so it doesnt scrub. but my car sits really low..
