18's are the largest u should go if u plan on going the performance route...17's would even be better, but 18's still look better. Over 18's and you lose some handling qualities

if you're going for all out performance stick with 17's and a sticky tire. if you want some flash to go with 18's.

it may look small but 19's and up are poor for handling and u will go through tires like nothing with that turbo...not a smart idea. Those peopls are probably more show than go and use the turbo also as a show piece.

TIRES on all larger rims dont last as long
19s usually last like 15,000 to 20,000 miles...
