    depending upon what size (17,18,19,20, etc) rim you want to go with i can recommend offset and width or the rim as well as tire sizes.

    19s youre going to want to stay around 8.5" wide or less with an offset around +36mm or more.

    20s youre going to want to stay around 8.5" wide or less with an offset around +40mm or more.

    the tire size i would pick would be a 245 or 255 series tire that is the closest to stock diameter and maybe a little smaller to make sure you dont rub really bad. also, if you do end up rubbing you can roll the fenders which isnt all that bad. you need a rubber mallet and a heat gun. heat up the fenders and whack at it until the lip goes from 90* to more like a V.

    Bio can you send me a pm explaining what offset is and all that junk. I'm veryvery un-educated when it comes to fitaments and you seem to know

    245/35/20 are smaller diameter than stock, that is why youre fine.
