4.8is winter setup wheel size options
Just curious, what is the smallest size wheel you can install on a 2005 4.8is? I looked for this topic on the "home" page but didn't see anything. I am assuming 17" or 18", but suspect that with the larger brakes and rotors, that 18" may be the only choice. Building another "winter" setup for my buddy who has no experience in this area. Appreciate any responses.
