Then get the fitment calculator from Andrew Olson

Search is your friend... but to give you a reader's digest version:

Generally, most people are running upto 18" wheels. Good tire availability

You can get 19"s but ride suffers and tire availability is a bit ltd.

I beleiver there are some 20" Mfg, but you'll be running rubber bands for tires, so they probably won't stay true for very long. Don't knwo about tire availability.

Here's a thread with a LOT of wheels. https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...gimme-pix.html
