5th gen bodys are so big they really need 18's or bigger. Those rims look mad small on that 5th gen plus any rim wit a nice lip is gonna look smaller because of the lip. You might be able to get away wit 17's but i think 18's would be best way to go, even if u have to save another paycheck for it.

I didn't go too crazy with it. The only pics i could find of these wheels on a car were 4 lug cars, so that's what I used. I think the pics serve their purpose.

those rims are nice. 5th gen max is such a big body 17s will look silly. 18s will be ok if the drop is enough

i'm gonna have to agree with everybody else. Those rims make the car look like they have small shoes. You will have to probably spend the extra dough to get those 19's to make the car look proper.
