BEST RIM SIZE
I have my stock 15inch rims on my 95GT and wanted to change them to 17's or 18's but a buddy told me i should stick with the stock rims for better performance
is this true? |

If you are drag racing, taller rims will hurt you. Otherwise they are cool.

I wouldn't go past 17's I am getting them so I can get wider rims for better traction.

yeah, I agree. 17" is like the perfect size to me...15" seems too little, 18" seems like too much. 16" is good too, but 17" is just nicer.
