Well, you know I meant rims.  I was thinking about wider tires also. 
Would 
that be much of a problem?  See, I see most newer cars or a higher price 
seem to come with 17" wheels and I would like to get into that territory. 
I 
would like to improve the wheels and tires in many ways.  I am not going
all 
out as far as expsenisve rims, I am just keeping it in the $400-$500
range. 
The tires will be what they will be.
