Default 18" rims

Do any of u guys have 18's on your cars?...doesn't seem like the wheel well would fit the rim with tires comfortably without rubbing...?

The other issue (besides the tired aesthetic debate) is that in order to maintain the stock rolling circumference, you're forced into running a very narrow profile tire... usually a 35 section or less.

Because those narrow sidewalls are very stiff, all the minor bumps and divots in the road surface are transmitted back through the suspension & steering. Not a setup that I'd call ideal by any means.

15-16 for performance
17+ for looks and hurts performance

i think 16s is the most popular

I run on 16x 7" rims, with 205/40R16 tires.

For the sake of comparison, the stock wheel & tire combo on a 97 DC4 was 14x6" steel wheels and 185/60R14s.
