I found this thread showing one SVT, but are there any others?

Need new tires, so I figure I might as well go ahead and get 17's or 18's while I'm at it. I probably won't drop the SVT until next spring. I do have a Mirko, so that should slightly improve the appearance of 17's or 18's on stock suspension.

Any pics or opinions?

here's mine when stock on 225/40/18z. i liked the way it looked. these dont look goofy like most cars do when you just slap some big wheels on without a drop.

None of those look bad. I think I can live with the wheel gap for a few months. I was leaning towards 17's but I'll probably go with 18's now.

Keep the pics coming for other's future reference.

yeah, i was totally satisfied with it but i wanted better handling. that was the main reason i threw in my coils/struts. it rode fantastic with that tire size. imo, i think on stock suspension, 18z look better than 17z. less wheel well gap. but still wont look bad whichever way you go.
