Default Turbocharged and stock rims... looking for input

Just wondering if any of you are pushing 200whp+ on stock rims. I have a set on Da stock rims from my teg that I'd like to run but I'm concerned about the width. I believe they're only 5.5" wide. Any of you had any luck with stock rims and getting fairly decent traction, and what tires were you running? Trying to avoid shelling out $$ on new rims.

It largely depends on your tires also. Put some high quality sticky tires (if you can find them) and you might be alright so long as you don't dump it at like 6k revs.

Traction bars are VERY afordable nowadays, you may want to consider getting one of those.
