Haha I think the stock size is a 205/55. If I were you I would some research on what width tire will not cause clearance problems. It will depend on the offset of your rim. Standard is +40mm i would assume those rims are.

According to Discount Tire, 205/50, 215/50, or 225/45 will work. According to Tirerack....215/45. And, if you try the tire calculator on 1010tires.com it will tell you 205/45, 215/45, 225/40 are the sizes to go with...so there is no exact, but those are the recommended numbers according to different places.



Hurry up and get the wheels on the car, I want to see how it would look...I've been really curious what those would look like because there's a set for sale locally and I might be willing to jump on them if they would look good.
