...can I put on my car without it looking silly? It had 13" on it when I got it and I put some 15s on it and they looked much better, but how tall can I go without it looking bad? I think 18" would be the limit but I don't know. What do you guys think?

Well,....um,...er,...ah IMHO I don't like the look of 18's on our cars I think they look to big. But I know the guys that are running them are DEEEElighted with them. (and I'm sure they are going to cap on my 15" rims now:D :rolleyes: ) I think 17's look the best.
But I would not want to pay the money I'd have to pay to get them to be as lite as stock rims are.

The tire size the 18" guys are running is 215/35-18 (almost positive) and they are running a different offset then you'd run with the other sizes. I'm sure one or more of the 18" rim guys with chime it on this one.

Well I don't know about anything larger than 18's, but I do know 18's will work as long as you put the right tire on and the offset is 45mm. The tires you can run with 18's are 215/35's, if you have any other questions go ahead and ask.
