Default rims and tires question

hello, i dont own a lancer, my gilrlfriend does. she owns a 2002 ES (or LS?)

im very into auto modification, but i own and work on jeeps, not as interrested in the street machine world.

here is my beauty

im asking about rims....

she wants a little wider look to her tires (which means wider rims) and she wants something to fill out the fender well alittle better.

shes VERY picky about it (im so proud) she really likes the EVO rims, she wants something in gunmetal grey, but refuses to have it say evo on i because she doesnt wanna be a tool riding around in an LS with EVO rims.

so my question is..... where can i find a good selection of reasonably priced rims?

what rim/ tire size am i looking for?
1 rim diameter
2 rim width
3 rim backspace
4 tire measurements

she wants something all season, she lives in maryland and we get snow and rain, so i want to find something with GOOD TRACTION... not a street racer tire so shoot me some advice on what rims and or tires i should look at!

thank you so much!

well the ones that come on the evo's are 17's which i think are a good size. I wouldnt go bigger than 18" rims. Tire measurement all just depend on what rim you get. I think the evo ones are 235 width. and the stock on the lancer are only 205, so that would give it a much better look. Id say stick with those measurements since you know they should fit. The one problem i think you'll face is i think your bolt pattern is only a 4-lug so you will have to find a rim that will fit it. Here is a good site to do some searching
