I was lookin at a pic of an Eclipse's side view, it looked ugly with those small 15-16 inch rims. The wheelbase on the eclipse is big, so wut kind of rims would u put on?

yea Eclipse's have huge wheel gaps
I'm on 17s(17lbs to be exact:cool: ) on stock suspension, I have about 1/4-1/2" less gap than stock. Since the bigger the rim, the lower the profile so no matter how big the rims are ull still have a pretty big wheel gap cuz the overall diameter of the wheel and tire will be almost the same as the stock wheels.
so its about the suspension you have
i'm going with ground controls :cool:

Not always... There isn't too much of a difference between 17 and 18 with weight. But 18's always are a better number i say. So i agree, 18's are probably best in my opinion. Anything bigger might run you into some problems.

maybe for a 1g, but were talking 2g here, aren't we? And besides, Honda's have a smaller wheelbase.

17"s deffinatly, they'll look good wont way you down too much, and personally I dont think you need something bigger than that on that type of car.
