Thank you.
Using the OEM wheels, you can easily increase the tire size by one or two sizes. There will be no rubbing, and you will get a bit more rubber and sidewall.

If you want to step down to 18s, shoot us a PM for Apex/BBS/HRE/Signature/Forgeline wheels.

The 1M's control arm and bushings are robust. Stepping up to a proper set of coilovers will significantly improve the ride and handling. KW, Ohlins, Nitro are a few excellent choices. Please shoot us a PM to discuss.
