    How do large wheels fit the strut shock assembly? It looks like the "shock guard" at the base of the spring would prevent the installation of a larger wheel.

    You can run 18, 19 or 20's without a issue to a point. You are kinda limited to a max of a 8-9in wide wheel and then you must factor in offset to make sure it fits without rubbing. Then don't forget about tires, for 18's you want to run 245/45/18.
