Umm?

IMO anything larger than 19" is ugly and makes it look like a toy car.

But I know some run 20s and 22s... but for 22s you would have to get taller than stock tires which may cause traction control issues.

Instead of what's the biggest rim I can put under the car....I would be looking at what sizes are pleasing to your eye. I only want so big of a rim under my cars...because I like a little more tire than some. So for me....Max is gonna be 19/20....but mostly 18's. Try to find some pics and see some vettes with different size combos and that will help you.

vette's look good with either...18 front 19 back or 19 front 20 back
