17" tires will give you a slightly better ride -- especially if this is a daily driver. But there is nothing wrong with 18's -- and most of us think they look a little better. Personally, I'm going with the TRD 17" forged wheels to give a manufacturer look, strength, and a slightly more flush look.

Yeah exactly, trying to mix in look and function with this build.

But if you gonna keep it in stock suspension, I'm talking about stock struts, sway, alignment then prob 17's (17x7.5~8.5) w 215/45 or 225/45 is ideal. 18's doesn't look bad, but it will loose lil bit of "fun" factor. Of course that vary w how grippy is the tires is.
Til when you know what you really want from this car, I would recommend avoid spending extra $ buying wider wheels and tires.
That's just my 2 yen. |
Damn thats a nice setup. Yeah I’m looking to keep stock suspension, at least for the foreseeable future. The idea of bags came up in a discussion I had with a buddy recently, but thats definitely further out in the future.
I appreciate the advice. I’m looking for form and function in the build - want something that looks above stock, but also want to make sure it maintains at least decent ride quality since I’m putting good miles in my baby.
