In my opinion, anything above 18 would start sacrificing smoothness. With 18's, you can ride on a 35 or 40 series tire. 35 being lower profile.

Are you looking for a specific style? 5 spoke, split 5 spoke, do you want a lip, what color?

235/40-18 is closest to stock when comparing tire diameter and width. 245's would work perfect as well though. I have 235's on right now.

Deep dish can be achieved with aggressive width and offset.

Volk: GT-S, GT-C, SF-Challenge
AME: Shallen FX, Shallen CX, Circlar R

I'd say go for 18's, maybe 19's.

Another suggestion would be Axis Hiros; they don't make them anymore but I'm sure you can find a nice pair still. Here's a couple pics https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...highlight=hiro

Also, what color is your car?

The TSW won't give you much lip or depth...

Axis Shine 19 x8.5

Car color is White Diamond Pearl.

The Lexanis I have as my Avatar pic is the style I'm lookin for but they only come in 18" and 20". If I could find them in 19" I would just go with that.
