Well new tires will probably be needed in the next few months and im wanting to go up a couple inches in my overall height. nothing dramatic being that i park in some tight fit parking garages but i feel a few inches will give a more rugged look. I want to keep my stock 17" wheels for now but after that, i have no clue what my options are. I have heard a couple inches can be achieved for really cheap...this true? any recommended tires (rarely go off road but a semi rugged tire would be nice as long as it drives real well)
