bratman18 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Find some puegeot wheels. They are bigger and therefore you can fit a better option of tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86HatchShelby Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Or hub redrill, or rim redrill My tires are stock size, but the sidewall is taller, so they are bigger looking. -Jaren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one eye Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 If you stay with 13" tires, 185/80/13 Wintertrax are pretty good. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
