measure your overall diameter and increase it with the profile of the tire, its really simple. I have seen 22's on your bodystyle with a 5/7 drop. if your scared, go with 20's and lo pro's

I dont understand how anyone can run anything bigger than a 20 on a 98 with a 5/7 drop. I run a 255?/35R20 I think on my 98 with a 4/6 and I rub on my inner fender lip. I couldnt imagine turning with it being an inch lower with a bigger rim. Not saying you cant do it, since its been done, I just dont get it. I must have a goofy offset on my 20s.
