   30series yes.
   but they are expensive--
   it will totally ruin your gearing and handling and it will rub everywhere unless you have raised up looking like a "tonka toy turck"

   little bitch of arch work done (trim the liners), low profile tyres 195/40/17"s and you should be good to go. my 17"s had big spacers on them though to give a bit more room before they rubbed. just mind your available turning area for the wheels will be a fair bit less so your turning cirlce will need to be bigger

    My vtr is down 40 with 17's look amazing. And yer u have to take the liners out cut the arches, remember not to use full lock cox they rub on the back of the tyre and I'm using hankook 195/40zr17.
