Also how does the change effect the ride quality? I would hate to buy some "20 rims with 30 rubber and ride like a civic..

look at these sites...
www.thewheelexcange.com
www.aaarims.com
www.tirerack.com
www.discounttiredirect.com

The first 2 sites have a photo gallery
the last 2 sites have an interactive link that uses a virtual model to show how the wheels look.

What size are you looking for?

Either 18 or 19 would be good. Forget about 20's...

For example 19" sizes for the front 19x8.5, 19x9 would be ok.
Rear 19x8.5, 19x9, 19x9.5, 19x10 would be ok. same concept applies for 18's.

Offset should be somewhere between 12-22.

Center bore should be 74mm

If you get 19's you should drop it even if you are on stock sport suspension.

I was looking for 19. But for 19 the rubber will have to be like 35 or 40 at most right?? How is the ride with rubber that low? Will it be bumpy???

Thanks for the help..

You will feel the road more... If you go with 19's, your fronts should be 35 series and if it is staggered with say 265 or 275's you'll want to go with 30 series in the rear.

I like my 18x8 and 18x9.5 m parallels.
