You can do what you want, but the fact is this car was not designed to accommodate wheels larger than 18". Most people on here reporting issues with tires, wheels, suspension, etc. are those that put on 19" or 20" wheels.

Good luck with your decision...........

As long as you get proper fitment with the correct offset should be no problem, just ordered a set of 19's myself!

been running 19's forever without a single problem. yes in theory your brakes may feel worse since your roating mass or weight may have increased.

18s or 19s for sure. 20 looks too big IMO. Any ideas on what width and offset? Also, make sure the wheels you get have a 5x114.3 bolt pattern..

8.5 for the front and 9.5 for the rear, but that is entirely up to you..I believe our offset is something ridiculous like +45, hard to find a wheel to fit our cars well

This is not true. Offset and width cause issues, not an extra inch or two in diameter.
