    Unless i'm misjudging the size of this car, i dont think you'd have to sneak 17s in. I've got 18s on my Lancer and its smaller than a corolla. Still have wheel gap and it doesnt scrub even on max angle turns.

    Depends on what you like i guess... im positive 18s would fit like OEM, 19s would probably scrub on occasion. I personally like to fill the wheel well up as much as possible as long as it doesnt effect driveability or require abnormal camber. I used to be a 15-16 wheel guy.... but with new cars, i feel like 18s are the new 15s.

    Here's a corolla on 20s...........

    I actually have no idea what the OEM size is, lolol. If it is, then 17s probably wouldn't be a bad choice.

    It's not the fit thing for me, Sin. I've just always been a fan of smaller wheels. Comes from being a West Coaster, I suppose. I'd put the 17 or 16 wheel on the car and lower it to get rid of wheel gap.

    This hits it, right there. I like 'em small, you like 'em big. Later, QD.

    what converted me was tire selection. I like a lot of smaller wheels, but i hate how as the rims get smaller, the available tire only gets bigger. If the smallest tire available for a 16 is gonna put me at a 19.5" overall diameter and i can get a 19.5" overall diameter with an 18 inch rim/tire, im gonna go with the 18.
