I don't want to buy to big, but I don't want it to look strange with the freakishly small tires it has now If you can't amaze people with your intelligence, Confuse them with your stupidity

IMO, go with 16 or 17 inch wheels. -Ken V. 1998.5 SE Praire Tan Zetec ATX psycho_bass@hotmail.com Roush springs Roush rear sway bar BAT struts 17" Millie Miglia HT3 and a ton of subtle asthetic mods

Keep in mind you will probably want a drop in ride height with a wheel over 16 inches. -Giovanni One turbocharger. Two intercoolers. All love.

And you can always find someone selling used SVT rims. Good luck! Also, do a search for Pre98 pics and you will be able to see the different rims people have put on their cars. It will help you decide. '95 GL White I've got mods.
