And 18s or 19s carry a HUGE performance penalty over the stock J30t's forged 15s.

Whatever size results in the tires and wheel weight equaling the oem.Springs and especially shocks are matched to the unsprung weight. Changing things by 5% [6 pounds total per axle] can seriously degrade performance.

I agree w/Q45's statement. IMO, I wouldn't go higher than 18's. Anything else would look too ghetto & kill the engine performance.

18's will kill performance ...

As Q45 Tech said ..Anything over OEM weight will slow acceleration and lengthen braking.Simple Physics.
