Re: Wheel size advice

IMO, just get a good set of tires for the rims you have now. Buying wheels when you don't know what the end look will be could well result in wasted money. Also, getting larger tires could decrease performance if the engine RPMs wind up out of the good torque range. Might want to take your rear end ratio, possible tire sizes and transmission type and run some numbers on one of the on line RPM calculators.

Nothing says you can't refinish the stock rims to make them look new.
