    Question bigger rims on factory springs??

    hi, im looking at buying a vs ss (pantha mica) and wonting to put some chromies on her. im not the biggest fan of lowered rides, love the look but not the ride, just wondering replacing the original 16" with either 17's or 18's, is that all right to leave suspension still all standard and shouldnt have any probs??? cheers daniel

    changing the wheels will not cause any probs, the ride quality will be a tiny bit harder but not by much because of the lower profile tyres

    you could fit up to 20 inch wheels without needing to do any mods at all.
