I suggest 16's or 17's. Konig Rated-R's are fairly lite weight 19.2lbs for 17's and 16's are usually lite weight no matter what. My car sits a lot lower with 16's which I like. With 17's the 45 series sidewall is the best bet. Your car will sit a little higher but the ultimate goal with and wheel and tire upgrade(performance wise) is putting down more rubber with a wider tire and not adding to much weight in the process in order to improve handeling. Forgot who posted this site but it is very cool check it out.

Depends on what you want. If speed is what you desire, I wouldn't go higher then 17's. If looks is what you want, definately go with 18's or 19's. I have 18's on my ride.

o.k., 17's it is...on ADR GT Sport rims (if I can still find them)...now what is the closest size to stock, so that I can keep the correct speedometer reading (or is it re-adjustable...like if I take it to SATAN and tell them it's so many miles off, can they fix it to be correct with the new tire/rim set-up?)...just curious...tia!!!

You can get the ARD GT Sports at www.whalentire.com for a good price. 215/45 is corret size to keep your speedometer from being off. With these tires if you are traveling at 60 your speedometer will read 60.2....not even enough for you to notice that is off. Good luck.

Get 17 inch rims with 215/45/17 tires to advoid rubbing and a better ride without blowing out the tire too often.
