Default Got A Question Rim Size

I have a 1993 coupe it has progress springs on it. I want to say they are a 2.3 drop with KYB adjustables. My question is can I fit a 17'' wheel on my car.
Thanks

Well yep, you can fit 18's in there. The important thing is rim and tire width. Also, your camber settings will affect wheel rub very much. I had 215/35r18 on my teg and civic and they fit but rub if you dont "flare" the front fender a bit (roll the lip) also a bit on the inside of the wheel well at full turn.

I am NEVER going to use anything less than 15" wheels though, they are cheaper, lighter, make you quicker and more nimble plus they just fit over my 11" brakes that I was able to afford thanks to running a less expensive wheel/tire combo.
15" Rotas+Azenis =
15" Rotas+AO32R =
