You'll probably get ridiculed on SVTP for going above 18" wheels and doing anything but Bullits or Fr500s Alex '99 SVT Contour -=\|WANTED: Vortech, working or not \|=-

It's true wider is better, but I don't think you'll notice a difference. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15
