I'm a fan of 17's... I think 18's are alright too, but any smaller just doesn't look right. You can always drop it too, then you won't be as high as a CRV lol... I'm still rollin' on stock though, so I don't have a whole lotta room to talk, but my favs are 17's.

17's look good with the right drop..if you don't fill that gap it will look like ****.

Your drop will dictate how high your car will look more than your rims. You should be using the same overall diameter tire with whatever size wheel. If you wan't 18's, that's fine. With the right tire size, it won't "raise" your car at all. Now it will look higher without a drop, if you are running stock suspension, that is an optical illusion though. Springs come before wheels though, atleast for me, unless your tires need replaceing.

I agree... 18's are the way to go. They're just the right size and you can still drop your car without any issues..... I have 18's with 225/40/18 size tires...

you can fit 18s & 19s fine.

imo 18" is the best size for our cars

Once you get bigger than 19's, you roll on rubberbands, right?

Pretty much... unless you have hydros or an air setup that puts you high enough for a bigger tire.....
