Hi,

I am hoping to get rid of my 15" rims shown below in favour of some larger ones, but wondered what was the largest rim size possible? Is 18" the maximum without modifying the arches?

Thanks

16's without rolling the arch and depending on off set/tyre size 17's can get in there, but 18's will almost certainly require the arches to be rolled and possibly pulled out.

Thanks for that... i really want to fill the arches, so i will try and get a very low profile rubber, with a 17... thanks again!
