Putting 17's on an AE92 is like tying a bowling ball to your nutsack and trying to run a 5 minute mile. Theres simply not enough torque to move bigass rims/tires like 17's (unless you go with something very expensive.)

don't put 17"s on an ae92, the car will look like a 4x4 with such large wheels

your car is already slow, no need to make it ugly as well.

the ae92 is a great car, i own one, and have been thru 2, but it isn't the car for 17" rollers.

IMO, 15" on an ae92 should be the limit

you should be happy with 14", at least they're not stupid 13" doughnuts.... :cry:

veil, you are being mislead.

you want an ae92, but you are posting about 17" rims and wild body kits.. c'mon, read up.

this is not a car that needs a body kit to look good.

now if you just want to be different, you are being foolish, cuz you will be alot better off with your 2 objectives by getting something with an H on the hood.

more stuff and alot cheaper too.

Put 15 inch rims on it and spend the remaining money you saved towards the engine.

Why do you guys always do that! Some people aren't into engine work, some people like to make their cars look good and have a sound system! it's not all about speed and street racing, what's wrong with having a nice looking car and a stock engine that runs fine!!

Veil Octane you can run 16"x7 on your car, but the smallest tire you can put on that is a 205 (width) and therefore you'll need a spacer on the rear wheels because your tire will be rubbing against the top of your strut. I have 16" wheels with 205/40/16 on my car and I couldn't go with no spacers.. Don't listen to these guys man, if your engine is running fine do what you want with the car, if it needs work then fix what needs to be fixed first and then pay attention to cosmetics..

Good luck...

because running 16's let alone 17's on that car is ugly!!!!! sure he can do it...he can put plush for the interior...but it'll still be ugly.

he's asking for our advice and we're giving it to him. thats it. take it with a grain of salt.

he's asking a group of guys generally interested in performance over fast and furious cosmetics 'what he should do to his ride".....what kind of response do you think he's gonna get???

Back to the question at hand. What size rims you get has nothing to do with rubbing if you do your rim/tire combo properly. What really matters is the width of the rim, and the offset, which is dependent on the width.
