This is probably not the answer you're looking for, but, I don't like any of the wheels you posted.

IMO: if you're still on stock suspension, stick with 16s. 17s on stock suspension will give you more wheelgap than tire, and it looks lame

word...also dont get the AST tires, best bang for the buck all weather traction tire would prolly be the Kumho Ecsta SPT's..

The 17's on my hatch do look pretty gay with the wheel gap, but I have some S-techs coming that will fix that problem. I have got the Kuhmo's, definately the best tire for the money. These things stick.

unless you plan on lowering any time soon, get 16". like MXS said, anything bigger looks like crap on stock suspension, and even after lowered i still think 16 looks sweet.
