[FC] TIRE SIZE - HOW BIG CAN YOU GO?

[Western Canada CORSA]

I've got 215/55s on 17x7 wheels on my RS, and the only issues I have are a
result of the 2" drop on the front spindles.

The Westbrier actually runs 235s on 17x8s but a 1/2" either way on the
offset and they wouldn't work.

Regards,
Joel

I have these Z28 wheels (take-offs from a long gone Corsa) under a 
non-op Rampy, but it looks like they will work fine -- 
http://www.nastyz28.com/faq/wheel/z28wheel.html -- I think they are 15x7 
-- you can look up the offset yourself (an impolite way of saying I 
don't know what it is, but the part number is given on the website).

I think I have some old G60-15's mounted at the moment -- I said the 
Corsa was long gone ...

There's probably room for 17" wheels with appropriately low profile 
tires.  I don't think you can get 22's under there though.
