Anything beyond the factory 13's messes up the suspension geometry.



Anything beyond 14 says "Pose" not "Goes"



If you're upgrading to bigger brakes, get bigger rims. If not, get widened diamond wheels, and stich some monster meats on them.

If you want, I can get into a dissertation on rotational inertia, effective brake size, scrub radius, roll couple, and sprung vs. unsprung mass, but I wont.



If you are really interested in performance, size your wheels to fit your brakes, then go as wide as you can.

Actually 16" wheels look just about perfect, and aren't too heavy. Now I just need to lower it a bit...
