Largest size rims for Sedans.

Whats the largest size rims you can get for 2011 Sedan GX?

largest I've seen is 20 on a 2nd gen. Most people go for 17 or 18 though.

I wouldn't even consider going that big unless you're going to use it for show purposes only (if that). If you go any larger than 18 you're going to start sacrificing things like drivability and comfort. 17 or 18 is best if you're going for comfort/looks

[joedemarco]

huge rims arent really "in" like they were a few years back...for a street car like Shinglez said, 18 is basically where you want to stop, you get looks and practicality out of it. And from what I have noticed, depending on the kind of rim you buy...they can look bigger than they actually are.

Lol personally, I think 19s fill out the fender wells on the 2nd gens better than 18s, especially if you're running stretched / lopro tires. And I would hardly consider them "huge"...

I have speed3 gen 2 rims on my mazda, and i feel like its just the right size. From a looks perspective 18's look just right.

20s

you can fit 50's.... just takes some work

and 20's look hella stupid...

20s is the largest i have seen with i believe was a spaghetti tire which was a 30-35 side wall. so no pot hole hitting with those. it was on a red 2010 gt 3 sedan and they were chrome, so im sure that fuel economy was awesome! but to be honest as cool and original it was to see, they were way to big. i would say. 18s max, but with a gx,gs or gt safe bet is 17's. bit cheaper, same with the tires. and it doesnt make the caliper and rotors look so small. where as the speed 3s could always go up a size and it wouldnt look as bad do to the larger brakes that come standard.

i got speed6 rims on my 3 sedan and they suit it id say 18s are enough

17, no need to make the car slower to look "better"

for the second gen, technically 19 to 20 inches. it comes down to whether or not you have the money and spine to run 30/35 profile series tires which are are expensive and uncomfortable as hell. to keep it in spec, as well as considering weight (longer braking) and gearing (slower acceleration), i wouldn't go beyond 18" (i.e., regular oem rx8's), which is what most if not all second gen members run.
