Also, think of ur sidewall choice in terms of this...

18s use 40, 17s 45, 16s 50, and 15s should then be 55...there u go, tough decision made simple


this i find hard to believe. i go from 16 to 17 and back (summer winter) and notice a difference. i notice a night and day difference from my gl (w/ 14s) to the svt w/ 17. its true that your keeping the overall diameter as much as possible BUT that has to do w/ fitment and keeping the speedo accurate as much as possible. the 17s may be almost identical overall to stock 16s or 14s w/ 80 profile tire BUT the ride quality will suffer as u go bigger. it has too. u simply have less tire to absorb impacts. simple as that.
