oh, and if anyone haz some size recommendations too... it's stock height with sock steel 15*6s just like the pic in the op... but methinks 16" would do me fine for now... still thinkin lol

You did make it a multi poll Lol

I say 17x7.5-8 for you. I want 17x9 for track work.

 

[bluebaltz]

do you think that 17" rims would look fine in a sedan at stock height? i think i'd like it about an inch lower lol! thoughts?

 

[YelloEye]

It should look OK. Much better when you drop it.

17 x 9 is sick on these cars. Especially for you blue. Some varrstoen or anything really. Your lug pattern allows it. Lowered On wide rims is SEXY!!!!

 

[bluebaltz]

ok i think i'm set on 17" rims. what tire size should i go with then? 225/45r17???

my thinking is that the stocker 195/60s or 65s are not terribly capable of braking. soooo 225/45/17 would give me the same overall diameter/ride height AND 30 more millimeters across of surface.

i s'pose i figure any wider than 225 would just reduce mileage & effort steering since i still have stock brakes?

I've always been a fan of Bronze/Gold. More Bronze though.

225 40 18 are stock LNF size, plenty of braking power. Any larger and you have to be careful about your offset to keep from rubbing.
