37"
 
Not a single Capris in a thread about big rims? I am disappoint. I'm sure one of our users in Alabama can just go outside for a few minutes and find quite a few examples.

Two things absorb bumps in the road. Tires and your suspension (Shocks and springs). The tires absorb bumps mainly by sidewall flexing. When you eliminate the sidewall, you easily lose about 25% of your vehicles absorbing principles. This will obviously cause the vehicle to ride bumpy and will cause extra strain on the shocks and springs. To go this extreme in wheels would certainly cause a hazard when driving especially in bad weather.

All those cars with ultra low profile tires ride like shit.
 
I bet that car and those tires is terrible in winter lol. And in summer you have to worry about denting those rims all the time, I don't think it would take too big of a pot hole either. Not enough rubber to protect it. 😛
