he has 18's on "FATSUN" and it suits it, but i believe he has done extensive body mods. IMO i don't know why you would even bother, put some dished 14/15's or buy a rexi

Larger wheels obviously have lower profile tyres
Thus the wheels are more fragile and prone to bumps and distrotion from curbs , poor driving etc Not to mention the #OOPS# ride from the reduced air cushion Lots of guys I know with Silvias etc are forever getting their buckled rims repaired or buying new ones

What body shape do you have? On my ute I'm going to try running 17s on the front with 18s on the back with a set of 15s for track duties. 18s will required work to you inner and outer guards especially if you try to get a reasonably low ride height.

Nah we're stuck in the 70's thats why we own a 70's car :) besides big wheels on a little car like the 1200 makes it look like a roller skate, especially your guys short wheel base utes. wide 13" rim's rule. I do however think up to 15" looks not too bad.

its do-able but yeah you have to cut and reshape wheel wells and wheel arches... especially if you want to lower it... i think with the right style wheels it would look awesome but for practicality sake 15s are as big as you really wana go IMO
