to run those your going to need 225/40/17 and camber if your dropped and fenders rolled with rear bumper tab relocated! lots of work but it will look good.

It will also handle like crap running 225's all around. That size wheel should have at the minimum a 255 on them.

Take a look in the wheel and tire section to find some wheels that will fit this car.

225 on a 9.5" wheel is going to look good?

those size will take quite a few amount of work just to make them fit.

thats a fairly extreme fitment.
rolling fenders and stretched tires will be needed.

meh looks good is subjective but in the hella flush scene it looks good and i dont mind looking at projects people have done and admire their time and effort they have done.
