How wide it TOO wide?
Sorry if there is a sticky somewhere or a thread that already covered this, but all i could really find in regards to wheel width was with the tires.
So, how wide is too wide? Is there a reason you shouldn't fit the widest wheel you possibly can? Can more wheel be bad due to the weight? Is it a matter of needing to run an aggressive set up (a load of negative camber) that would eventually hinder handling? There is a lot of information floating around the web, but i would like to hear the technical side of the aspect from s2ki's very own. thanks!

There is a thing such as too wide. The S2K only has so much horsepower and if you put too wide of a tire it will never be able to use the tire. You are also adding unsprung weight which is not a good thing. If it is just for looks I guess you can go as big as will fit. That really depends on the wheels at that point and how much you want to do to the car.
