I found some pretty nice, inexpensive rims and I can use the same tires I already have. You have to remember, that if you get bigger rims, you have to pay for new sets of tires. I would like to get 18''s, but I save $400 if I get 16''s. _____________________________ (in reply to todd45) Post #: 6

They will fill in those fenderwells a lot better. And as long as the offset on those 18''s you are talking about is somewhere around +40, youll be fine _____________________________ 1999 Honda Accord "EX"(SOLD) 1996 Nissan 240sx "SE" (in reply to NighthawkHonda) Post #: 7
