Hey I have a 1999 GST eclipse and I am planning to buy enkei raijins, do you think that I could run them on my car and have flush fitment. Also what kind of tires should I run, my car is for daily use. Your help is greatly appriciated thank you.Here are the short answers.
1. The size you choose is up to you and should be based on the type of driving you will be doing (daily, autox, show, etc.). Get light, wide 17's for the best handling. Get heavy 18's for looks.
2. I've never heard of wheels rubbing. Tires rub. As a couple others indicated, tires may rub when they are either larger overall diameter or larger width, and are affected by factors such as suspension lowereing, wheel offset and adjusting camber.
3. Many people have 18 inch wheels with no modifations. Many more had to roll their fender flanges.
There some FAQ's and numerous threads on tire fitment in this site. Read them. Heres the tire size calculator I use often to compare overall diameters of tires for different wheel sizes. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
