What's the biggest wheel I can get on this Damned car. Without doing extra work. Would like it lowered to the back end is a bit high

500 with 72k on the odometer?!? That is a hell of a deal. Too bad your all the way in CA though, i would offer you double if you were interested in selling. As for the biggest wheels i am thinking 20 inches, but you might as well lower it and go like 18-19 inches, thats just my opinion

Sounds like valve covers to me. Like 1GSLUVER said, you can run 20s lowered on it. Its all about offset. Any pics of the $500 car? Also welcome to the forum.
