They both sound too big for a Neon, so 18's...

You won't be able to get 19's on the Neon. Biggest you could go, is like me, 18's on 35 profile tires.

Hi all,
Here in France Neon's are sold with ridiculous 15" stock rims...
I'm also wondering why not fitting with 18's.
Is ET35-38 or 40 ok on Neon 2000 non-srt?
Thanks

Olivier

They are sold here in the US with the ridiculous stock 15" rims too.

Biggest set of rims you can go is 18x7 with 35 profile tires. (18x7.5 with small spacers)

I would go with 17's, I wish I had not gotten my 18's.

Go 18's and wait till you get them to lower it. You have to know how much space you actually have to work with, which can vary depending on what wheel and tire package you go with!

I'm telling you, 18's, your only choice is 35 profile tires. You will feel every bump hard. Your rims will get bends easy. It's very easy to scratch the rims on curbs. You might needs spacers. Acceleration will be a tad bit slower. But top end will be faster.
