You've got to narrow it down a bit.... just about everyone moves to something larger than the stock 16x8" wheels. But you have to choose something between 17" and 20". Then there's the width.... anything from 8" - 11" wide will fit. Then its a matter of selecting the correct offset.... but you can't do that until you pick a width. And once you've narrowed down the wheel diameter and width, you can selct a tire size based on matching the stock tire diameter.

Have you looked through the FAQ stickied at the top of the Wheels and Tires forum topic page?

What size wheels do you think you want?

Here's a T/A with 17x9.5 front / 17x11.0 rear - is that similar to what you are looking for?:



Brent Franker also has an "Appearance" section on his website, with hundreds of different wheel photos:

Look at the post in the FAQ regarding offset vs. width. It tells you what offset will put the wheel/tire at the fender edge, what offset will put it where the factory wheels sit, and what offset will cause the backspace to interfere with the body/suspension on the inside edge.
