Wheel Sizes
OK, next topic ........... wheel sizes.
As the SVX is new to me, I need to ask about experiences with changing to a different wheel style / size. I have read a couple of bits and pieces on the forums that people have changed wheel sizes, then had to alter suspension, etc to fit in larger wheels. At present, my SVX has the original wheels and I'd like to change to a 17" or 18" wheel and have them protrude out a bit further (offset?) without any suspension / brake changes. I'm not sure if I fully understand offset, etc, but is it fair to say that the original is "55" offset and the smaller the offset, the further they protrude? Also, is the stud pattern 114.3?
I'd just like to give the car a little more of an agressive look, without being silly. The originals look a little too small and too far inside the body. Ideally I'd love to put on something similar to this ......

Any thoughts as to what to look for and not look for in terms of size, offset, stud pattern, etc would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
