I made a mistake...now help me do it right..

Yes, I realize now that those 17's are way too big. Now that I have the LS motor in, it rubs the front fenders. Plus it's like night and day when I have like 14's on it. So I want some really nice 14-16" wheels. Lightweight. What size should I go with and still have good all around pick up.

How can I make sure they will be lightweight?

Thanks

The smaller they are, the less they have to turn so 14's are a good size. But 15's won't hurt much either.

I'd go with 15"s, they are fairly light and there's usually a wider selection of tires for them too. Plus your 17"s should be really easy to sell. GL

Re: I made a mistake...now help me do it right..

as we all know,I'm the one who picked the 16's,
if you would of had the 17's option I would of went for that,
hek,I've seen a 4th gen hatch with 19in lexani'z,
but being the rice burner that I am,
no need to listen to me.....


but really,
go with the 15'z,I'm kind of getting tired of my 17'z too,
REALLY!
I want some 15inch black rims,
they look sooo nice!
