    I was just wondering what the biggest rim size is that I could put on my 07 GP without changing the factory setup? Was thinking about 18" rims but wasn't sure of the needed offset.

    How big do you want, 18s fit no problem in a 30mm-40mm offset.

    maybe 20'', 19'' for sure, 18'' will look the best though

    That is what I was thinking I was worried however that I might get some rub against the suspension.

    22s fit easy with the right sized tire. Pick what you want, run the right sized tire.

    Please don't let the naysayers sway you here. They just don't know what it is to inform without judging.

    Width would be good to know to. A 9" wheel at +40 will fit...keep in mind fender work as well if you go wider or lower offset than that.

    18" +40 unless you like the wagon wheel thing.

    Switch to coilovers and your offset and rim width options change big time with out the damn strut being so wide. So then the question is not how big of a wheel can you fit but how wide or a rim can you fit!!

    You really don't need anything over a 9" wheel realistically.

    if you wanted to do a little fender work and run a not-so-correct tire size, and potentially some aggressive alignment settings, you could get away with 10" wide wheels all day. it's really not that hard, but people are unwilling to work to get things to fit, hense why i never tell people to run big boy sizes.

    10" wide wheel work, but only with the right offset.

    I really only want 18" wheels. So I would need 18x8 w/40 degree offset? What coil overs would be best if I switched?
