Rim size without lowering???
Looking for some input. I'm in the market for a set of rims. But I'm not looking to lower the car. ? With OEM wheel sizes on the rise, what size will look okay without having to lower my 2007? Are 19" & 20" too big?
Thanks for your help.

The OEM tire height is about 27", so by going with a lower profile tire you can maintain that overall height. I've seen people go with up to 29" overall tire height, but you take a serious performance hit and your speedo is off until you tune for the revs per mile.

I decided on going staggered with 18 x 9 wheels up front with 255/45/18s and 19 x 10 wheels on the rear with 275/40/19s. The front tires are 27.0" tall while the rears are 27.7" tall. This increase in the rear levels out the wheel gap and gives the car a slight rake and a nice stance IMO...
You won't find any internet company selling this combo, but I bought my rims from American Muscle and the tires from the Tire Rack (both outstanding companies!) and had the tires mounted locally. My car rides like stock and handling was greatly improved with the addition of Koni STR.T shocks and struts.

Wheel size doesn't matter as long as you maintain close to the original OE tire OD of 27.something "'s. Personally, I'd put a 15" wheel on my '07 if it would clear the brakes. I hate my 18's; no frickin' sidewall and we all klnow that sidewall is sexy. Those 20's and larger wheels are for clown cars.
