My Mums RB has 18" Enkei GZeros, Ya can fit up to 19" but ya need the Offset right, The Enkei on here Car are of My TE and there 50mm offset.
I seen a Gem in Melb, with 20's so anything is Possible.
Ask Rick Ludgate, He had 19's on a TX. And Yes it did drive and it didn't rub and It was 1' of bump stops

hey tiger; legally you can go up to 16", watch how much you lower it though, ive seen one with 16's lowered 3" all round (not much for an rb, trust me) and it fouled something chronic. cheers, weeksie
