Default Best rims w/o messing with suspension?

Thinking about getting some Rims soon but I really don't want to mess with the suspension or drop the car and stuff. Anyone have any favorite setups without lowering the car?

well... your gonna have to get 20" then if you dont wanna drop your car for the best 'look', you know your asking a very subjective question.

bigger wheels with no drop = truck. Stick with 18's or 17's.

If that's the case then I'll bet lots of 250 owners with the 17's don't know they got the special edition rally style lol

its amazing how much different stock 18s look from the stock 17s...it fills out the wheel well a lot better (but not enough for me, personally ). however, if youre goin for the 'look' without dropping your car, 20s are the way to go. we have a few showroom 2IS' with 20s on em, and they look amazing. if youre not lookin to go that big, 19s will work fine as well, imo.
