Ok I'm gonna need traction bad on my ll but I want the looks to go along with it. I would really really like to put 17'' rims on my car. Has it been done? If so, what is the widest low profile tire you can fit? What is the best looking biggest widest tire you can fit on the ll? Size and offset info on the rim, and tire size info would be great. I do see some people put 14'' and 15'' rims on there cars. I want to go bigger. Like something along the lines of the Cobra R rim size. I know I've seen a pic somewhere of a ll with the Cobra R's on it. I have a 302 W/ 425 dyno'd HP plus a 150 shot of NOS. This is a lot of HP for this lil car. Its gonna need some big shoes. I'm not tubbing it out or cutting wheel wells. Plus there will be slapper bars or traction bars on this car, so I don't know if they will need clearence.

Mine are pretty scratched up and have some holes drilled in them from previous owner.
