17" will technically ride better but I would doubt that you will notice a difference.

215 50 R 17 or 215 45 R 18 are as close to stock as you are going to get.

Your Best ride and also your Safest Ride is going to be on 17's. This is A+2 up sizeing which is more than enough. It will give you much Quicker cornering response than you will be used too and with the Larger Contact patch of your tires a more secure feeling when your stopping.

You should be lookin @ a 17X7" rim and a set of 215/50/17" tires...dont forget to get it aligned when those tires go on your ride...

**Sorry about that, but I had a bunch of calls to make and was not looking at any post's for awhile..**

If you have the 4cyl with the 4 lug wheels then you could use 35-45 mm offset.
If you have the 6cyl with the 5 lug wheels then you can use the 42-52 mm offset.

By the way...if your prone to not listen good and want to really go to

then let's put you into these...which will fit..but you take your chances on control and Rapid Wear Out of your Tires....19X7.5 rims with 223/35/19" rubber..
