the1darkprince Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 my friend is looking for some new wheels or her 87 lude. we went to the discount tires/americas tires website to use the interactive system to actually see wheels on the car. unfortunatly they did not have 87...but 88...we used that anyway. does anybody know if the largest tire that this website gives you is the largest you can safely put on your car? what else would we need for the car in order for the bigger wheels? (i.e.-camber kit, springs, etc?) -Kirkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLontheDL Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 so your friend is upgrading her wheels? or are you asking about tires? anyway, i read somewhere that the largest aftermarket wheel youo should get for any car is the max of 2" more than your stock wheel. so for example your stock wheel is 15", you should be fine with 17"s w/o ruining your ride quality. 18's are okay too but you might want to use that only for show or something. i had 18s on my accord and the ride quality was crappy. it was very loud.. my steering wheel would tremble a bit on the freeway too. oh and bigger the wheel = more money spent on buying big tires. good luck and let us know how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have four Enkei RS5's with Winstar tires (never heard of them before but they are just as sticky as Kumho Ecsta Supra 711's). 16" in silver, less than 300 miles on wheels and tires. I can get pics if you are seriously interested (if not, selling them to my friend in a few weeks). EDIT: $820 (which is 1-2 bucks less than getting them new, but the tires are already mounted and stuff) plus shipping, includes locking lugs and what not, 4 lug.
