    Re: wheel and tire question

    For a 205 tire I think you only want a 6 or 7 inch wheel width. 8 inch will be too wide and the rim will stick out under the tire.

    Tirerack.com has a huge selection of tires and reviews you can read. Try there.

    Dude, use the search feature. Your going to blow your suspension out with the hair brain idea of a 3" drop. Its going to cost you more money than you are going to be willing to spend to get that drop.

    Be smart, work on your car for relieability first then drop it.

    I'm not trying to flame you, just trying to get you in the right direction.
