    I know this might be the question many people have posted but I was wondering what size rim and tire works well for an 07 GP. I was thinking 18s, 19s, or 20s.
    I would like to put 19s on but someone in this forum said tires for this size rim are difficult to find, therefore expensive.
    Then, I was thinking 20s with a thick side wall. Sorry, I don't know how the tire numberings work. I've seen GP's with 20s and the tire thickness looks too thin. And I was also wondering if I go with a thicker side wall, will the tires rub even though I leave the ride height stock.
    Or would 18s with the right tire size give me the look I'm looking for?

    most people with these cars get 18s because they arent really into the big wheel thing. i had 19s on my car and loved them. yes, the tires are a little more expensive because they arent really a common size of rim. tires for 20s are going to be a little cheap...maybe..because they are a little more common. you will ride just fine on 20s with a tire that is the same overall diameter as stock tires/wheels.

    use the tire size calculator at www.1010tires.com and figure out the size you need.

    as far as offset and width, youll want to stay in the +40mm range with a width equal to or less than 8.5" wide.
