Who's got the biggest rims on a 2nd gen? Post up some pics!! I think it'd be crazy to get some 6x4.5 to 6x5.5 adapters and Rockstars for the street. No idea if it'd work, but I bet it'd look sweet.

I bet you could stuff 22's..... You might want to check on the newx.org.

22" rockstars would be sick

there is a dude on here with a 1st gen sportin 22" rockstars, he's here in houston too!

i think itd look extra sick with color matched plastics

on www.thenewx.org , there is a guy with 22's on his X.

Theoretically, you could fit up to about a 30" rim, if you went with a low enough aspect ratio tire, and had ridiculous amounts of money to waste on foo foo bling crap.

:D

You see, the rim diameter means nothing as far as fit....as the rim is not what hits anything for fitment...its the tire that hits.

So you can have ~ 33" rim and no tire, and it fits, or leave a low profile inch and a half sidewall to absorb bumps, etc...and go with a 30" rim, etc.

For street use, people get a ton of flats from pot holes, etc, if they go very low profile...and, therefore, they also bend a lot of very expensive rims.

If you have at least a 4" sidewall, you can expect reasonable survivability.

As a stock 2nd gen comes with 32's...we'll use 32" TIRE diameter for the example.

32" - 8" of total sidewall = 24" of rim.

That's a practical limit.

A 22" rim gives you 5" of sidewall, and so forth.

If off roading, you really want more like 7-9" of sidewall, to be able to have the tread conform to the terrain a bit.

That would get you to a 16-18" rim, maximum.

Obviously, if you are running 40" tires, etc...you can run a much larger rim w/o a problem....in fact, its a good idea to not let the sidewalls get TOO tall, as it then gets harder to control laterally, etc.
