I heard 17x7 is the biggest you can go with a proper sized tire without problems, but then again, thats what I heard...

No problems as long as the wheels are the correct offset. I know of cars with 17x7 on the front with 205s and 17x8 in the back with 235s. There are some 1st gens with 18s but that would likely need some gaurd rolling.

I would say most 1st gens in Aus that run 17s (and theres a fair few) would run 17x7 all round.

i was wondering if on a RWD car like ours....would it be better to have bigger tires at the back for more speed and skinny/smaller in the front for better handling?
