What's the biggest size wheels we can use on our cars? 18"? I'm might be getting these rims/wheels from a neighbor real cheap and was wondering what size is our max and min, I'll post pics as soon as I can, maybe tommorow.

By the way, the tires/rims are from a mustang she used to have, they just don't fit her new car.

When you throw 18s on you're slowing yourself down. As far as the drop: With 18s the drop depends on what kit you have. For example 18's with an R2 or Blitz kit doesn't have a lot of space to drop. But a safe drop would be 1.5" or less. Anymore you run the risk of bottoming out.
