Re: Best wheel size?

16s or 17s for all around best wheel size. But it depends on what you plan on doing with the car. Do you need traction or for it to ride nice, etc. 17s are a decent street and road race size. 15s and 16s are better for people who launch a lot or drag race.

I have some Lenso 17" wheels on my 2G and I think they are only 7" wide. Which isn't quite wide enough for 17". 7.5" would be better. I would rather have some 16s though, so I could put some decent drag tires on them. They are white also, which is fairly out of style nowdays, but it's a white car, so it doesn't look horribly rediculous. I had them on my wifes car(silver) back in 02 or 03 during a trip to the drag strip and they looked pretty bad.

It just depends on if your looking for performance or looks or whatever.
