couple things

1st does any one happen to know what the biggest rims you can get on a '96 aspire without clearance problems r? and 2nd, i need a short throw shifter, does anyone know of a canadian website with canadian prices where i can order a short throw shifter that will fit my '96 ford aspire check out my car at www.cardomain.com/memberpage/577658

just wonderin would an acceptable alternative be to chop down the stock shifter short then just rethread it to fit my shifter knob?
