I would like to hear what is the biggest rims i can put on my Omega, because i would like them big as posible :) I found a very nice Moz wheel and i would like to have it in 20" or 21", it is posible to put it on a standard Omega without make the wheel screen bigger??

biggest I've seen IIRC 20.. but driving will be awful :-/

and any deep pothole without doubt will damage both those expensive rims and tires..

There is very little room on the front to give a larger over all diameter due the base of the spring cup on the front shock, however there is loads of room on the rear afaik....if you like that sort of thing.

But as said the ride will be utterly appalling.

even the Kumho at that size comes with a price tag of 160 £..and some known brands reaching 250 £..

personally I would choose safety instead of show..

and go for maximum 18..

the wheel scrub you would encounter on that size i would say 4/5months max wear. the omega isnt a light weight car so i would stick to sensibility and go for ride comfort and pocket

Standard 16" Elite Wheels, with standard tyres.  I can hit any pot hole, any speed bump, any child at the speed limit, and I dont even know it.   :D

So back to the OP question.

Can he fit 20 or 21 inch diameter wheels on his Omega.

Obviously the reply is yes if he maintains the rolling circumerance of the original size tyre.

He lives in Denmark, maybe they dont have potholes and speed bumps.  But seen quite a few cars from his country withbig wheels including some membets from here, one of which is a very sexy blur steumietz estae on 20's that I saw when I 1st joined the forum.
