what size are the stock wheels??
if your looking to save some money cuz those tires are still good wear these out then get new larger rims with good tires, otherwise u saving money here will just bite ya in the butt when u dont like how small they are later. if they are stock with like 17 or 18's, disregard all that.

that's what i wanted to know. what size are the stock wheels? because i have no clue at all. sorry because i don't really know that much about cars.

but yeah i was thinking about wearing out these tires first and getting some bigger rims later on. but bigger rims cost much more and i'm on a budget so i'm just really looking forward to just changing the wheels right now.
