I think those rims would look pretty good. Dont get 18's, theyll look too small. IMO 20's or even 19's should be the minimum size.

Those would look good. But i'm conservative. I'd go with the 18s.

SIZE DOES MATTER!!

Definitely go with 20s. You will find out later that even 20s are not big enough. I have 20s right now, but would love to go bigger... Down side, IMO I think it slows down the car quite a bit. Decide what you want first (speed or style), then you should decide.

If you're really wanting opinions, mine would be to avoid any wheels with those simulated (or real) rivets around the perimeter of the rim. They look like crap when the wheel gets dirty and you'll be out there with a toothbrush trying to keep them clean. IMO, nothing looks worse than a killer wheel with a dark shadow of wheel crud outlining the styling details.

I've learned over the years to like wheels with simpler designs that are easier to keep clean. Yeah, wheels with lots of bling look kinda cool when they're antiseptically clean, but they don't stay that way more than two blocks.

Oh, and I agree with whoever said the 18's are plenty big enough. The most common comment I get on my Max is "Damn, those are big ol' wheels!".

The Max handles 20's with no problem anything less looks to small to me now. Maybe for a G35 or something that size. As for the speed, my Max still moves pretty good but I knew I was going more for looks than performance....I have my stock wheels back on right now and I want my 20's back!!!!

i like the nitto's and have them on my ride but i went with a 235/35/19 series and am very comfortable in a corner i don't know why you push for a 255 series tire, sure i like wider things but i also think that a 255 series is going to be more for show, more on your wallet, and more weight. my 235's grip much better than my 245 did. i think as far as grip is concerned. it comes down to the tire...
