19's are the biggest you should go. Yes, 20's will fit without modification depending on some other factors, but they just look too damn big and awkward on this body style.

20's will fit provided you get the right width and offset but I think 19's are a better option.

20's are way too big for this car. 19's are almost assuredly going to rub without fender rolling. I vote 18 x 8.75's with a 1.5-2" drop, and a proper offset.

Not necessarily true about 19's. If you get the right offset and tire size with a modest drop you will be fine.

Personally I think 18 x 9.75 and a drop + a fender roll looks the most aggressive with 18x 8.75's shortly thereafter.

With 18 x 8.75, you should be able to put the alignment and toe back to factory spec and be fine as well, whereas you risk needing to buy a camber kit with larger.

I see that you're new, welcome. I suggest you not rush into anything and look around the site for a bit before making a purchase.

If you see something you like, private message that person and get their wheel/tire/suspension specs; do research before you spend your hard earned money! Rushing into things will only cost you more time and money down the road. Don't ask me know I know
