any size u get the wheel well space will be the same if you plus size your tire and rim mine is plus 2. i have 17" rims with tires to match,original was 15",BUT the overall diameter of my 17" is the same as the old15" because i had a thinner tire put on to keep the stock specs.no change in gearing so no chage in speedometer.

I gotcha. Well, is $800 normal for the new rims and tires? That is what it costs shipping online. Local shops want like $1,000.

here's my story... went to my local Discount Tire... priced the rims and tires I wanted out there at over $900... went online to discounttiredirect.com priced the same rims and tires at around $700..and they have free shipping!... printed out the checkout screen (right before buying) and took it to the local Discount Tire, asked if they were the same company. They said yea, and not only did they match the price, but since they had to charge tax...gave me free replacement certificates for all 4 tires. They also were the ones to mount them for free...AND they had a $100 off promo if you opened up a discount tire credit card (with 6 months no payments, no interest)... so I got a $100 check in the mail within a couple weeks

I'm pretty sure it's high...probably like all the other store cards...19 or 20... but, actually, I knew I was paying it off before the 6 month promo was up, so I didn't pay any interest
