Dear all,

I am very new member to this group. Appreciate your help.

How wide are you planning on going with the wheels?
Are you lowered at all?

Those questions will determine how wide your tires should be.

As for sidewall, I usually go accordingly:

15's - 65.
16's - 55.
17's - 45.
18's - 40.
19's - 35.
