Because it annoys some people to read the same question over and over in a short period of time.

You must always specify width and offset when asking this question. Just the rim height alone won't help much. Tire sidewalk height can compensate for larger wheels.

However, width and offset can be unforgiving. For example: a 12" wide wheel at any offset does not a prayer to fit under your stock bodywork. Same can be said for a wheel which has too small or negative offset. Say you had a 6" wide wheel. But the offset is negative ET150? See what I mean?
