    si tu veux savoir la taille maximale que tu peux passer sur une comet, je pense que le plus gros que j'ai vu c'était du 22 pouces...

    widest i've seen w/o a minitub is 255/60R15 with 4 1/14 BS on a 8" rim...as for wheels anything bigger than 18 looks stupid, if yor go larger than 16 you might consider lowering the car as it makes them look better. just my 2 centavos

    IF your car has 4 lugs, it could be smaller width wheels than the typical 5 lug wheel.

    They should be 14 inch diameter wheels with 5-6 inches of width.

    Tire size, stock would be 70 series tires or smaller.

    Try looking at www.tirerack.com and there should be a way to select
    your car and look at recommended wheel sizes. If you have aftermarket
    aluminum or chrome wheels.....you can go larger.
