Hmmm, can't help you on the tire/wheel question. There are more than at least 38 previous threads that has beaten your question to death over the past couple of years.

Are those pics really the same vehicle? The silver one is the original color and you painted it the darker gray?

The bigger, heavier, wheels will reduce performance, worsen handling and damage the suspension as well as costing more. Usually people don't want to fit them....

I personally would not go over 18 inch wheels. The suspension damage occurs quickly with the large wheels. One pothole and you are toast with the large wheels. The dark grey is a nice color. I haven't seen that shade of grey before.

Well I'm on 19x9.5-10 but I'm going back to 18 for couple weeks till I get my camber kit and some spacers.. I'll post a video or pics later..

By the way the rims I'm getting are modular VIP wheels neo chrome 19x10-12
