Hey Team, this is Quentin. I have decided to replace my 17 inch wheels because their just not wide enough (7inches across). I'm Looking for only 5 star wheels (Have Black Konig Moonsoons already) that can give me between 8 to 8.5 inchs across because I would like to use a 245/45/00 or a 235/50/00 which is a much wider and thicker tire. Not worried about speedometer being thrown off a little, just trying to get a little more grip, with the ride of a 50 series tire with out it rubbing the struts or shock absorbers. I'm leaning towards the NICHE THROTTLE 17X8 or 18X8.5 or the NICHE PULTEC. Give me your input on tire/ wheel combo's in 5 star designs that fit the 2001-SE's. Don't want to spend over $500 per wheel!! Thanks Team!!

You are looking at pricey wheels that are going to cost you over $500 a wheel. I have a picture below. My favorite is the Niche Corsa.

Can a max handle an 8.5" wide wheel w/o rubbing? What about if it's lowered with eibachs?
