Default RE: REPLACING RIMS

you can go up to 18" wheels for your car, tire size for this wheel is 215/40-18 or 225/40-18. personally, i like aspect ratios of "50" or better, go below 50 and you risk wheel/tire damage. i had a friend with 40's and he always was riding on a flat, and he didn't know it! i'd say "hey Maui, you know you got a flat?" "not again!"

i'd recommend 17" wheels and 215/50-17 tires, if you want 20's you'd have to paint the rubber on the rims.
