Depends on your backspacing, and the overall diameter of the tires. The wheel diameter in and of itself has no effect. Unless you're running a wheel with a diameter larger than the factory tire's diameter.

With as much time as you put into bitching in that post, you could have searched.

measure your current clearance and calculate how much drop you can handle. I recomend measuring with at least two people in the car.

Christ ... 35 series rubber. I can't even imagine how bad those would get ate up by local broads.
