16" 17" or 18"---> cant decide--->help

i need new wheels
can't decide what will look the best with airbags.
16 17 or 18
with 16 i think it looks the best but with air bags i am not sure if it will tuck the tires enough.
17 is some where in the middle
18 i don't think it matches the car..
so what should i get>
anyone can post pic of JDM fit with 18? 17? 16? VIP fit?
thanks

Go to HG/TV for color cooerinations with your air bags.
PS you didn't mention the 1/4" suspension travel; bet that go-kart feeling is just perfect.

17"s for sure also. It really helps fill up the wheel wells, and I believe its good for VIP. I am running 17's also.

I think 18's look best when the car's laid out if you're going VIP.

hmmm.....id say get some lightweight 16's. i dont know, i've never been a "big rims" kinda guy. small rims (13s or 14s) look like crap...bigger rims (17s and 18s) look goofy to me and have that "hey everyone, look at me" vibe but if your going for flash then thats cool. i like the middle ground...15s and 16s with a slight lowering of the car...THAT looks just right to me. to each his/her own.

i am thinking about 17X9
common guys..it's about balance ! it has to fit with the car .... i've seen some JDM fit with HUGE 18x10..and super wide fenders....i just don't think they fit the car...

17x8.5 has been pulled of on the rear of a JDM GD.. and the most I have seen pulled off up front without major fender work is 17x8.....( this is if you want to tuck tire )
