IMO I'd upgrade to a bigger & nicer wheel & tire package. You can get those from www.wheelmax.com [wheelmax.com] www.victoriatire.com [victoriatire.com] for as low as $600 shipped.

I say you buy new rims prewrapped in tires, that should save you some cash thumbsup

perfect time to upgrade since you need new tires anyway. I'd go 17's. Nice compromise between size & Performance.

def, a good time, i'd rather buy some used rims that are bigger and better, then to just buy new tires for stock rims smile

Well instead of starting a new thread, I gotta question fellas.I found the rims I want but now I need to know what the best tire size is to get. The price varys on this package based on tire size.

17x7
$1099 (205/40/17)
$1150 (225/45/17)
$1199 (235/45/17)

Price wise its not a problem, but I need to know the major difference in the tire size. What would be the best Performance wise?
