Just How big can you go

So I lost my mind the other night and decided to see if I could run with this wheel and tire combo. Fronts are a 18"x8.5" with a streached 205 40 R18 and the rears are 18"x9.5" with 255 40 R18 Tires. Wheels are staggerd, but they fit and run fine with no rubbing issues.

Well they still look good anyway. Looking forward too seeing it dropped.

I'm surprised... the wheels look a lot better than I thought they would based on the sizes and all. I prefer to keep as close to factory size as possible, but they look pretty good. Nice wheel design too ;).

My brother (username MadBill) has 275/40/17 on his. Check this old thread. http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id ... ad?id=3150

Wow! Is MadBill still running those bodacious "big boots" on his Vibe? That's awesome! He's still #1 in my book for engineering and pushing the tire envelope on a Vibe. I do love the look!

Those 18's fit the car darn good... but would rather see the same size tires front and back. The 205s in the front look a little lonely.
