tires and wheels Lurker Bling question: Is it possible to fit 17"s on th

[flipdog]

Before everyone gets mad and says thats idiotic, I say to each his own. I just want to know if it mechanically possible not morally in the 2002 community. Or better yet does anyone have bbs rm (?) the three piece wheels in a 15". Those are like unobtanium. This is my hobby car and don't want it to be "original" . I already cut holes in the interior for my 2000 watt stereo system.

thanks

Im sure its possible, as long as you run something like a 30 series tire. Check out:

to make sure you get a size comparable to stock. Make sure you can get a tire too in that aspect ratio etc. before you order the wheels.

As for your 2000 watt stereo, what alternator are you running? Obviously not the stock one.

with the short wheel base you could realy get that thing hopping around.

phil,

obviously you don't read. I didn't ask for opinions, just feasability.

hydrolics would be cool. I'd like to hit a button and lift up somehow over the freaking rocks and ruts on these roads I drive.. then when I hit the pavement hit a button and woosh.. down to fast drive height..

Maybe a 4wd button too for the boonies of Oregon

to each their own, yes i totally agree, but if you arent careful you could do something irreversible, and that affects more than you as you wont have the car forever, and who knows it could end up as the last 02 on the planet. and plus youd probably get more street cred with something newer anyways.

These guys are being ignorant. As long as you install a 7x17 wheels with a 28-30mm offset, you can run them. I'm running 16" Alpinas and get a rash of shit from the "oldtimers" . Oh well, to each his own. It CAN be done! Hydraulics- what a bunch of assholes!

Relax relax.. it was just a joke. I really like that look on that car, I'm probably going to go with 14-15 on my 02 because I think they start to look like the wheels are too big. did you roll the fenders?

17x7 with 215-40-17

This is my car with RS 3pc. 15x7. They're not so much unobtainable as they are just priced out of this world. I waited patiently for 1.5 years to find a second pair to match a pair I already had. (Sorry for the giant pics btw)
