abbfanuc those rims look real tight on your ride man especially with the blue lugs, thanks for the pic to give a better idea. What is your current suspension set up, what size rim and tires? Do you have any rubbing probs with your wagon? I always liked the white on blue not every car can pull that off like his bug eye. Thanks for all of your opinions and pics help alot with visualizing the set up. Mad thanks

as far a wagons go, stock height= most size rim and tires. If you have upgrades to suspension (ie coilover , spring + strut combo's) you need to watch the rears. For street cosmetics you may be fine, but if you are gonna drive your car, the rears will rub in the fender well, and you will run into problems. So either roll your fenders, and pull the liner out, or use caution. Currently i have not had issues with my 2254517's.
Check out the tire forums, and the search feature works well too....

Good pick with the wagon and welcome to i-club.

Here's some Visual aides to help in your deciscion

Gold


Bronze


Can't go wrong with gold. Bronze looks more aggressive IMHO, but I think the gold looks more "classy"

You know how many times I've said finally done with past projects! With all the money I threw into engine swaps with hondas, I was like bump this. Next project was gonna start off with a strong engine so I could focus on other aspects. I still got love for hondas though, hell I don't think I dislike any cars. Thats what my wife says my problem is, I want too many cars.. What guy doesn't!! Its a good thing I got my wagon, because I kept telling my wife I was gonna start messing with our 05 Honda Oddy just to see the looks on peoples faces when they got owned by a van.
