welcome to NICO noob! utilize the flashing "search" button near the top of the screen, put in some time, and then if you cant find what you're looking for...post. if you don't know what you want you may be able to take your car to a rims and tire shop and have them measure it out for you for a small fee

Welcome to NICO!

Honestly, it's not "What rims will fit?", you should be asking yourself "What rims do I want and how can I make them fit?". You can pretty much choose anything you want. Then you have to look at suspension and fender work to make the wheels you want, fit.

DO NOT!!! Go with 20's or your name will be Flava Flay!! Just go to Tirerack and click on your year model Make and they will show you all diferent types of rims and how they would look on your car too. PEASE NO 20's or Higher just stay with 18's or 19's thats It You go wth 20's your going to run into problems with how the car rides etc.

you can go to 22'' but you need to decide what is most important. if you want performance, 18" or 19". the thing about 19"s is that the tires are pricy and some times hard to find.avoid wheel brands vct,velocity,tyfunu2,f5 they are junk.

i've got 20's and yes to all the above, they look hood rich, they comprimise alot of ride, you can't cut the wheel all the way, forget about potholes, tires are very expensive i've got toyo proxes and they affordable but im going to 19's and a good susp. setup....

maybe staggared? since the back looks like its pulling its skirt over its feet, but oh yea if you dont care what any1 has to say and you want 20's no matter what, take a look at mine if you like them let me know

If you go with 20s your tire profile will be so low that the smallest pot hole will ruin your tire and rim. DO 18s, maybe 19s. I went to 18" G35 wheels that are 8 inches wide, with a 30 offset, with 235/40/18s. They are very close the the fender lip and do not rub. Off course my car is lowered 1.5" as your is or needs to be.

245/35/20 proxes4 forsure i avoid potholes, sewer drains, any imprefection but when you hit one and it happens it stings a lil bit, small cost to really fill the tire well up and ride on DUBZ but when you see a reflection its priceless-but all bs aside i wont do it again not on a 5th gen, nice 19s or minimum 18 otherwise ride our stocks

I got 20s on mine and mine does not look hood rich. I have the FX20s on it and I really only notice a diffrence when trying to take off fast and stopping fast.

To each his own, but I wouldn't go over 19's either. 20" FX wheels probably look good though. I just don't want the ride. These cars don't have very good riding suspensions anyway. You start putting heavy wheels and rubberband tires, and it really gets awful. I'm riding on 245/40/18's and it's the perfect mix of comfort and performance for me. I had 235/40/18's on my '96 that was lowered and it was downright painful to drive on downtown streets! If you're just all about the huge wheels though, then by all means, have at it. :crazy:
