Good choice of wheels. I was planning on getting these in bronze before I got my cups. you wanna run the Biggest??? ehh.... not my cup of tea... but I believe someone on here is running 18's. Not sure what his offset is, but I'm sure the closer to stock you are, the safer you will be from rubbing. From what I see from the "biggest selection", I believe that you'll be able to run the 17x7.5/+40/4x100 or the 18x7.5/+40/4x100.

Also keep in mind that getting bigger wheels will significantly decrease your acceleration, especially in this car with such little power to start with.

Well you did say:

sounded like you were looking for 22's if they would fit.

Anyhow 15's or 16's would be good and nothing wider then 7.5in. Personally I'd go with 15'sbut that's just me. The stock off set is +55, so just base your decision on the wheels who's offset is cloest to stock.

Also take into account that if you want the "flush look", lower offset is a must and may cause rubbing. If you don't care for the your wheels to look flush to your fenders, you should have all the info you need to get your wheels.

Good luck!
