Question

i have a 93 Cadillac DeVille sadan what is the highest size rim i can put on it without having to shave the car down some????

Answer 1

With all due respect to you, your Caddy, and the thousnads of DUBZ out there, oversized rims are not only dangerous, but hard on the car.
Whether oversized in width or height, they put extra stress & strain on a) the lugs b) the axles c) the bearings among other things.
Oversized rims will also throw your speedometer off calibration, so you'll need to have it either recalibrated, or new parts to compensate for the change in wheel size.
Ride quality will be affected, as well as handling.
Those last 2 things alone would change my mind on dubbing my Caddy.
I use to have a 79 Coupe DeVille, and it was THE most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned.

Although it may improve the appearance of your ride, you should think of all that you'd be losing, or chance to lose if you install oversized rims.
