The Walmart hubcaps just are not doing it anymore! A few friends have had good luck with buying rim and tire packages off eBay so I figured it would be a good place to look. First off I am not really sure what size to get. I feel that the stock 14" rims look way to tiny and don't fit the fender wells very good. I also hear that too big of a tire can lead to uncomfortable rides, so I am not looking for massive wheels. What would you guys recommend for a DD size summer rim/tire? I am thinking somewhere in the 16" area. Also is there anything I should stay away from when buying wheel/tire combos on eBay?
To help with my search could you please answer these for your recommended size:
Section Width:
Aspect Ratio:
Rim Diameter:
Rim Width:
Bolt Pattern:
I'd suggest searching for 5x100 wheels on craigslist. I would recommend 17"s, the ride is very near stock, but it gives you 1000x the options in wheel choice over 16"s.
Paid 150 for these with good rubber:
500 for these with brand new rubber:
Being patient in your search is worth it, and also search in surrounding cities, not just yours.
2003+ LSS Rims would look
,,,,, They are 205 55 R16 (IIRC).. Rims from any j (88-05) would fit

Those would not be my first choice but if they appeal to you then go for it.
The correct tire size to run is 225/45 on any 17s of common widths (around7")
Your bolt pattern is 5x100
Yea they looked good at first but nah, found the ones closest to what I really wanted, all black 5 spoke.
TireRack, pretty sure I am going to use 225 instead of 215.
