Does anybody know what size wheels is the biggest that will fit in the TC's wheelwell?

ssdm7683 · 05-15-2005, 09:16 PM

20's...unless for some odd reason you were sittn' on bags.

dmikon · 05-15-2005, 09:17 PM

Anything above 9 inches I would imagine... Oh... Wheels? I am not sure, 19", or 20" most likely.

- 19"x8.5" 35 offset wearing 225/35 tires will rub in the front if dropped around 2". Only on decent bumps though. If you trim the tabs that connect the front bumper to the fenders, then heatgun the liner pushing it up you can clear it over most conditions. Rear clears fine.
- those running 19x9.5" 35 offset and 235/35 tires in the rear usually require the fender lip to be rolled for clearance.
- 20s require removal of fender liners, and rolling fenders, unless its a crazy skinny rim with rubberband-like 20ish series... Which wouldn't be advisable on a daily driver.

I am running with 20's and have no problem with rubbing.

20X7.5 with 225/35 nitto tires

My friend took a picture of a green sunfire ROLLIN ON 30's!!!!!! HAHAHAHAH, it was off the ground more than every truck in the parking lot!

But truthfully i wouldn't go bigger than 18's, too much money for such a small difference in size.

so what size wheel and tire size looks the best on a black beauty like mine, i want it to look perfect not too big or too small?

DuMa · 05-15-2005, 10:52 PM

get no larger than 18s. 18s are too big as it is.

Eiso · 05-16-2005, 01:52 AM

I may just stick to the stockers because i put way too much money into my old car only to trade it in for my TC

killerxromances · 05-16-2005, 02:28 AM

IMO 20'' rims on an xb look like absolute crap...I would imagine, on a Tc, it wouldn't do any justice either.

The best looking rim size, IMO for the Tc is 18's. Not too big, not too small. 19's look alright, but a little too big.

imthewalrus37 · 05-16-2005, 02:29 AM

My ex was a WRX by the way

jrv2000 · 05-16-2005, 02:50 AM

id say either 18 or 19

imthewalrus37 · 05-16-2005, 03:21 AM

ok, thanks

Vas_Finest · 05-16-2005, 03:29 AM

Im ridin on 20s with 225/35/ZR20 tires and haven't had any problems. I love the way they look on the TC because it has a huge wheel well. I didn't have to alter anything. I know I will though when I decide to drop it.

I got the idea from that blue 533 hp TC that was on the cover of every magazine a few months back. The 20's looked right on it so I decided to go that route and I love it to death! I will post picks once I figure out how.
