Max size wheels a MCS '08 can wear?

Post by kraydl »

Was curious how large a rim an '08 MCS can wear. I know this also counts on how low a profile of tire is worn on them. For a low profile tire that's not so low you get beat to death, how big a rim will fit under there and still allow reasonable shock deflection without body damage. 18's ?

Anyone know by chance?

I know folks who have 18s on their 07/08s. I have aftermarket 17s on mine with H&R springs and the ride is awesome.

Big Papi is a R56 model like yours.

I have factory 17's on Big Papi 205/45/R17 with runflats. I know someone has the same with a 205/40/R17. An 18 could possibly fit but as you said it would depend on the tire. Go to a wheel & tire place and have them mount one to see....
