You can go bigger, but then you risk rubbing.

That's the biggest I've seen without much complaint. If it was me I'd keep the stock size and get a lower profile tire, changes the gear ratio helping the car accelerate faster. Plus they are lighter than bigger wheels, but then you lose that all important look. I only got bigger wheels so I could fit subaru 4pots on the front of my car.

I don't have them yet....a few more auto-x's will end my stock stuff. Then it's off to 4pots and bigger rotors
