    17s would be the way to go.

      17x7 is silly. I'd go with 15's at that width.

        Yeah, if you are looking to buy 70k mile touring tires. But all the bad boy sticky street tires are still available in that size.

          Hm, I didn't realize the best Extreme Performance tires are still available in 235/40R17. Color me surprised, I thought 235 was on its way out!

            Good news, Bav Auto will allow the raffle winner to go with either 15" or 17".

            No 16" is offered.

                Awesome that they're allowing a choice, but I think it's mind-bendingly retarded that they don't offer that wheel in a 16".

                  Smart! 15's are tough finds now looking for a 225-50-15 right now for some 15x8.5 and I think it's gonna be Toyo T1R's as there is squat out there besides the Ecsta, HTR200 and AVS200 from tirerack.

                  Who has free shipping on Toyo's these days? T!R's are 123 and change plus shipping.

                    The bigger these wheels are the better they look. 17s would look best for this wheel.

                      Moreover why no choice of 16" rims?
                      + a big 1

                      IF I don't win these, I am going down from a 17 to a 16.. baby bear says "Just Right"
