Use the search....... but it all depends on backspacing and tire height. If you go 17's you may be able to have some tire, but if you go 18's you'll need rubberbands!!! If you go bigger your extremly ghetto. I like my 17's

I'm not sure about height but when you go to a 9-10 wide wheel you will have to do some modifications.
