i'm not saying the factory knows best, because they build cars with cost, safetey and comfort as job 1, but upsizing tires mean that you'll have to either get lower profile rubber, which means your ride will suffer, or you'll get more sidewall which means your speedometer and odometer will be wrong. also, heavier tires add to unsprung weight which lowers whp, slows accleration, and increases braking distance. that is why i preach staying with stock diameter wheels and tires, but getting wider tread is tread for better traction through increased contact patch.
anyway, those wheels look nice, just don't get 19's because that is about the limit and you can get rubbing issues, especially when driving with alot of people in your tc.
