30's Dog All The Way

Go 24. Anything bigger not done right looks obnoxious

20's

Stay with the 22's. Anything bigger looks just stupid in my opinion. Especially when you put those rubberband size tires on them. SUV's/Trucks start to look like covered wagons or something with anything bigger than 22's.

My thought exactly. Wait and save your money for the new 30" wheels coming out next month //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif . Or you could go ahead and get the 28's.

Bigger doesn't nessesarily mean better. Case and point:

It's all about proportion, ride height, and brakes. I see people on the streets with their old American sedans purposly raising their cars and adding rims that are obscenely big, and it's just plain rediculous. On top of that, they don't factor in the expense for a big brake kit, and they roll around on their shitty stock brakes. I know it's a fad going around, but they're ruining their cars by adding so much rotational mass and raising their center of gravity. My advice to you is to find a balanced wheel size that won't change the preformance of your car, and still rides comfortably while looking good at the same time. Don't go anything bigger than 24" IMHO. and get some Brembos for heavens sake.

nothing smaller than a 40 series tire FTW

If you want some good rims, but want to maintain great ride quality, stick with 20's.

If you want bigger rims and are willing to sacrifice a bit of ride quality, but gain a lot of handling improvement and get looks, get 22's.

If you don't mind sacrificing a pretty noticeable amount of ride quality, don't mind watching for big potholes, and want gawker, get 24's.

In my opinion, I wouldn't have anything bigger than 22's on a daily driver. Plenty of people do 24's on daily drivers, and some even do 26's, but that's not for me. I like the balance of looks and functionability of 22's. I put 22's on my Tahoe.

24's, but please upgrade your brakes. So many people put huge rims on their vehicals and don't upgrade the brakes. Do it right.

That right there is why I went with a wheel/tire combo on my car that the interior tire diameter is obviously bigger (went from 14s to 17s) but the overall diameter remained the same to keep my speedo reading and gear ratio the same as stock.

Going obscenely big, to me, is simply ignorant.

26's look HOT. however, if you can't afford them or just don't feel like spending that much $$$$ on rims and tires (especially), then just go with 24's.

I am going to go with 24's on my wife Navigator shortly.
