Hi guys. My car atm is on 205/50/16 wheels, and is clearing about 10-15cm? 20cm? Not sure, but a lot lower than legal.

I'm planning to fit a bodykit on, which I already have in possession, but it will bring the car too low.

I'm thinking...besides raising the car by changing my king springs, I could get bigger wheels.

My question is, what's the largest size rim and tyre profile that could fit snugly in my car without modifying the wheel wells? I want to be full-lock (or close to it).

Thanks :wave:

The biggest rim you should go is 17inch

i recommend you getting the bodykit fitted first, and from there you can decide. Because each bodykit has different size. maybe the car wont even be low when you fit the kit, depending on which kit you got.
