18's for sure.
19's if you are lucky
20's if you want to do some work in there.

no full exhausts because the cat is welded to the mid pipe.

I heard 20 x 7.5 will work with no problem but I'm not sure on the offset . but if you put 20 x 8 you will have to do some modifications. does any one know if this is true? I just bought the 2006 Ultimate wheel and tire Buyers Guide that is where I got the info...

I think 19's would be the biggest I would go with lowering springs.

20x7.5 is the biggest diameter that i would suggest, 223 30 20 being the tire, fits with like a 42 offset ie the axis reverb in a 20 in

brent

i'm running a 20x7.5 with a 225/35/20 tire with a 1" TRD drop. It takes some modification, but it works.

The above pic is stock height. I have not yet posted pics on my site of the lowered pics, but the link above (with the greenery in the background) is lowered.

It seems to ride pretty well. I don't think it's any worse than car's i've been in with 17's or 18's.

RH, 22's will NOT fit unless you plan on tubbing the car and rebuilding the front end. My finger doesn't fit between the front of the rear tire and the body.

I'm glad you guys like it.

TRL, I know just being sarcastic, love the way your 20" look though.

just watch out for "big don" in nor*cal. he played for the NFL back then and is a big guy... he's got 20's on his ride... and as you can see from the last photo.... he doesn't really need to have springs to lower his car

yeah.. 20's is as big as i'd go.
