Default Re: What size Tirs and rims?

If you want to keep the Base Model specs and look, then the rims you'll be looking for are:

Size: 15"
Offset: ~ +35 to +40
Bolt Pattern: 5x100

The Base Model tires are:

P195/65R15

If you want to completely upgrade them by "Plus Sizing," look for rims with the same offset and bolt pattern as above:

For 16" rims, you'll be looking for tires in this size: 205/55R16
17" rims: 205/50R17 or 225/45R17
18" rims: 225/40R18
19" rims: 225/35R19

The size tires shown are a base guideline to keep the overall tire diameter as close as possible to the stock diameter to maintain an accurate speedometer/odometer.
Of course, the larger rims you get, the more expensive it will be. Also, the larger the rims, the smaller the sidewall of the tires, so there'll be less protection for those rims and way less comfort for the ride!
