I'd like to get 10 inch wide wheels on my SVX. I wouldnt want them larger than 17's though. Imagine the grip. Shame it cant be done for about 20 different reasons.

1) wouldnt fit in the wheel wells.
2) have you ever seen a 17x10 in rim? (me neither)
3) if you could get a 17x10 rim, no any one that makes a tire that would fit it? ya me neither.

And there are may more reasons I'm sure.

4) You'd be replacing wheel bearings every other week as well.

Hmmm, I am running on 8.5" wheels with a 1.5" lip. does that have the same feeling as the 10" wheels?
