Enkei's are actually a decent look for the 2002.

hahaha love the photoshop. I'm willing to chop up the fenders ( they want like 8 bills for the box fiberglass fenders), but I just fear the wheels are too tall for the car.

17s are just too big. a wide 15 is the best bet because you can slam it while still being aggressive and not bang your inner barrel. 16s would be the limit.

I think 16 would be the best size. Anything smaller and my BBK would start to rub. It's just finding ones with the proper specs. I could run a 215/35 on 8" and 195/40 on the 7"

SO I think I'm just going to go with molding in fender flares and running the 17"'s as low as possible.

what tires size are you running now? With the flares, you can run a small spacer to give you some inner clearance and still ride lower. Why not go 195/40s all around?
