I'd stay at 17 if possible that way you don't lose speed. But if any bigger sized rims go with 18's. 19's IMO look like a drug dealers car coz they always got big rims lol. Well they do here at least. 18's FTW. Also good choice in rims Axis FTW.

225/40/18 is the closest to stock height (215/45/17) you're going to get.

215/35/19 is roughly the same size, you won't be sitting any higher than stock.

I'm on S-techs with 19s and I have no issues with rubbing so with H-techs you will be fine granted you don't get a rediculously wide rim/tire.

For handling, 17s are best. For a compromise of performance for a little show, 18s. 19s are for show only.

Go 19's for sure

Why spend all that money to only get a wheel thats 1 inch larger then stock, you will hardly notice a difference from 17 to 18 but from 17 to 19 you can tell

heres my wifes car on 19's with 235-35 tires on the Vogtland springs which lower it 1.6 front and 1.2 rear
