nah, they going to be like those 300/charger/magnum craze, 22/24"s yo.

I have 18"s on my Volvo, I really want to do the wheels for the Lex next yr, I think I'll go with 19"s, cause that's still BLING! but won't ride as rough as 20"s.

if you guys go to larger-than -stock tires and wheels, pay close attention to the outside diameter of the tire / wheel assembly. Significantly oversized wheels and tires can affect the speedometer and make it read low. There have been a number of posts in the CLUBHOUSE forum from CL posters who have gotten speeding tickets from this.....a speedometer reading several MPH lower than the car's actual speed. One poster ( don't remembe the name ) got written up for doing 86 with the speedo reading between 75 and 80.

For me, it depends on the car & the style of the wheels.
For deep dish wheels, 19" is the minimum for any car IMHO, especially those with step lips .
