   i wanna change my alloys but am really unsure of the sizes i need. i have a non lowered car, with standard vtr wheels on, so what size can i go for without any modding to archs or any rubbage?

   i got 16s on now worst move ever, wheels grinding on arches and i had to raise it back up so it looks like a dune buggy. the soon i get rid the better.
