Hello, and welcome.
I've seen cars with 18's, and used to know someone who even had 19's on a classic
You have to get the correct offset, though, and then be very careful about tyres, or you'll be in all sorts of trouble.
The very low profile tyres needed give a massively hard ride too
:
Also, the OE brakes look pants through huge wheels
:
Take care with induction kits: certainly on a turbo Scoob, they can be responsible for MAF failure and resultant engine meltdown
Dunno if it's the same for a non-turbo, but do be careful. It's not worth risking the engine for what you gain in noise and power, (about 3bhp if you're lucky: )
