Default Get 18s if up north, 19s if down south and good roads
You're really only upgrading for looks if not going to the track.

17"s with 45s are great. Look at the tire profile of F1 racers and they pull multiple Gs precisely.

I use the stock 17" avus spare year round. Even at 17" I managed to mangle one of the ssr's on a pothole in Brooklyn.

17s. Tires will be cheaper and ride more comfy
