wheels
Hello,
I purchased a 92 about 4 months ago and have loved it so far. I live in Colorado and it is awesome in the snow. Quick question regarding wheels. Does anyone have 18 wheels on theirs? Are there any issues with clearance? Thanks for responding. |

Lots of people have 18" wheels on their SVX's.. A quick search will show you the various wheels that are being used.

I was wondering where that comment came from...
18" works, but the sidewall size required is very short, and the ride will much more harsh than stock. 17's are a good compromise between looks and comfort. Unless you're like me and don't give a hoot about a little roughness and have no problem planning your drive to work to avoid the roads with any potholes (or at least knowing how to dodge every pothole on the way to work), then go for the 18's.
