How big do you want to go?
I've seen some pretty big wheels. Just depends how much modification you want to get into.

Depends on the offset of the wheel as alot of the aftermarket 15" wheels have a ton of different offsets that fit our car depending on the size tire you go with. I would GUESS around 6 inches. As for a 7 inch 38et wheel, you need 85mm spring coils to have no spacers....

I have seen 205's on stock wheels but they don't look good with the tire edge sucked way in.
We are running 205/65r15 on the rear with CCC 1.1/4" wider fender and 7" chromies from JBugs and they fit perfect. We have 185/60r15 on 5.5" in the front.
