I am considering after market wheel and tires. I would like to know what aftermarket wheel / tire combos are on your cars. Also if you had to change something in the suspension to make them fit, you know like coil overs . Please include Wheel size , width and backspacing if possible. Also include the tire size. Pictures would be nice. Thanks, Lou

Mine are Moda R6 17"x7.5" with 215/45ZR17 this is a plus 2 size and you don't have to worry about recalibrating the speedometer. I got them from www.tirerack.com .

Enki Phlanex 17x7"-40mm offset with 215/45/17 front 235/40/17 rear. Totally stock 88, fits great, love 'em.
The car below (silver Formula, N* project car)
BBS Porsche Sport Design 996. 18x7.5-50mm with 225/40/18 front 18x10-65mm with 265/35/18 rear (!)
Extensive mods, custom coilover suspension and hubs to carry 5x130mm wheel-bolts, and ajustable +-1/2" in track to stuff the huge 265s in the rear. Not completely finished, pics are just set in the whells. I think this is just about the biggest you can go...
Best!! Ben.

Fronts - 17x7 40 mm offset 215/45s Rears - 17x8 40 mm offset 245/40s
Konig Tantrum wheels Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 tires
88, lowered 1.5" front springs...soon to have rear coilovers!
1150 shipped, lugnuts, balanced, wheel centers and all from http://www.discounttiredirect.com ; I highly recommend them, I've been very satisfied with their service and prices. No sales tax even.
I'm thinking about getting some 17's for my fiero. would 215/50/r17's work ok, or should i just stick with 215/45/r17's i wouldn't mind a little diff in spedometer, as the duke with the 4.10's could use a little help on the highway 2700-3200rpm is bad.. bad bad
I have American Racing Carrera's: front is a 16x7" wheel on Falken Ziex 502's 225/50VR16 back is a 17x7.5" wheel on Falken Azenis's 225/45ZR17 Maybe it's because I have a notchback, but if I go any wider in the rear it will rub the seat the strut sits on. Right now, I can barely get a finger in between the tire and strut.As of now I am not lowered at all, That strut "seat" is stationary right? After I lower, it's not gonna drop at all, correct?

Not current pics. Finally got my POS digital camera working though. Picture quality is piss poor, but it works. Will try to snap some pictures this weekend when I have it outside in some decent light.
