Go with 19... I've seen some 20's and they make the car to high. I got 18's personally, but 19 should be just right.

I initially was gonna go with 20's and later thought the same thing, a little too big for my taste to. 19's are just right, plus I even saved a little on the pocket book! [sm=smiley2.gif]

Hmm 19" could be good, but i think 20" will be better.

@mahal - thx for advice but i central Europe (Prague) i cant order stuff from tiretrack.com (Actually i can but custom and transportation tax will be much bigger.)

Which size for 20" rims are best? 8,5 or 9,5 ? Or for tires 245/40 ?

Anything bigger then a 18 on a compact car looks odd. It's too disprepositional to the car (that could just be the architect in me). Also you have a 1.8L, with 20's that thing won't get out of it own way.

Your stock size is 15" right? If so, I would go 18" and get the lightest weight wheel you can to get a good balance of form versus function.

Stock in Europe is 17" and you can get the 18"s from Dodge if you order them. I am planing to buy me a set of 20x8,5 with 255/35 R20.

If you put 20"s on your Caliber, try to find a body kit that fills out the space which is accured by the big wheels. (owners of 300Cs or new Mustangs are using this trick)

I would go with 20"s on the front and 21" on the rear ...if 21"s will fit ?!
