I'm wondering what the biggest size wheel that the "E" can handle. Anyone know the max? Also does anyone know the biggest wheel size?

i don't think so. even if your element is not lowered you'll rub both fronts and rears.

i actually think the biggest size that elements can handle easily are 20s. If you want to go 22s...you'll have to start doing serious modification to your suspension.

I have 22 x 8.5 et20 right now on the element with tein basics but i rub everytime i have a full load and go over a bump in the road. I've been recommended to change to a stiffer spring set up on the teins.. but havne't gotten around to it yet.

It's an aggressive look...especially with a +20 offset.. but i gotta pay the price and have melted fenders (from rubbing).

Rubber bands... are very uncomfortable riding...
