What`s the point of running wheels this big?

LOOKS! They fill the wheel well real nice. Plus you can get a real short sidewall for better handling, less sidewall flex and they dont look dinky in the wheel well like a 16 or 17 would with a short sidewall.

Ever heard of Saleen wheels? 18" is the biggest on a fox that you want to go without it looking stupid. 18" Chrome Saleen Wheels look amazing!!

I think it actually looks pretty good. Maybe the whole car makes it come together. Sweet Coupe though!

hater's on 18's

I am willing to bet my car will out handle most because it is set up for turns that was the point behind the suspension and bigger wheels and tires not bling ! Notice no chrome (Roush ) someone will always hate but bring your nebraska trash to california and we will see who's car is trash!
thanks for the love to everyone else !

Personaly i like the way your car looks and i would like to know what set up you have as far as spindles and rear axles and such. I will be doing the switch to 18's as well and would like to know more as far as fitment issues all miss. stuff involved
thanks
