Default 18"s to big?

Are 18" wheels to big for a 1st gen talon awd? I was told not to go bigger than 17".

hey once again thank you sebba, came to my rescue as usual. I was just worried about rubbing. I dont think i am putting a body kit on. I will put ebach springs and kyb shocks on it later tho. What width would i want? I was just looking at some that came in 17x7 18x7.5 19x7 and 19x8

Not too sure about the width. Make sure the bolt pattern is right

i dont think i would go with 20"s maybe 18". Im not out for top speed mainly just 0-60type stuff. Im in high school and my car is already the highest performing there. I just want to add a little style to it

18s 19s will fit fine depending on tire. 20s needs some small custom work. 20s are ugly anyway I say no bigger than 18s on these cars is good
