Hey guys, I have been looking at a few rims lately and apparently if u get the dimensions wrong it will scrape on the body kit (which is pretty obvious) I was just wondering what are the correct measurements and dimensions to overcome this problem.
i am looking at 18-20 inch tri spoke advan rims for my fto, they look something like this:

i would also like to know everyones opinion on how they will look on a white FTO
Thanks a lot guys

They could look good on the FTO but you would be pushing to get a good smooth ride due to the fact that you would be running rubber bands as tyres.

They don't look too bad... not a fan of chrome though. I think black is the way to go and I would prob be looking at 17" rather than 18's or 20's.......... I'm looking for wheels atm aswell for my VRX... DRIFT TEK

Any higher than 17s and like Aza said, not a big enough tyre profile will fit into the hub and youll get a crappy ride. Get some nice 17s
I fix cars.
