I had read several places that universally 17" front and rear are the best for performance. Otherwise its your choice.

Not being a pain, but just incase you didnt know there is a wheel and tire section for this specific topic.

18s all around will probably look better, but 17s are my choice for driveability and performance.

I have been pondering this issue also. I have brand new 275 tires and would have to take a huge loss to go 18s. Plus the price of nitto drs in the 18s are a lot more. With the 17s and Eibach it looks about right and you can use the rest of the cash to buy some neon lights and skull shifter :)

Questions about wheels should be posted on the "Wheels and Tires" forum.

Either get 18's all the way around or 17's all the way around. Don't mix and match. I had 17's in the front and 18's in the back and it sucked i could never rotate tires. I would get 18's though. 17's just look dinky to me.

If you have a 3rd gen you cant rotate your tires unless you take them off the wheels. or you do like i did and get 245 in front and 255 in rear and you can never rotate them. :)
