I have 17\'s, tyres are 235 front and 255 rear.

I\'ve heard 18\'s aren\'t a problem but to be honest I think 17\'s are better all round for handling/ride/comfort and look just as good.

Then again if you want that pimped look you\'ll need 19\'s.

I think 18\'s don\'t look noticeably bigger than 17s, but 19\'s look much bigger than 18\'s.

Im interested to know - how does it drive on 19\'s? handling wise?

Thanks!
