Depends what size you want.....But here is a break down for you.....

For 17" - 225/45zr17
For 18" - 225/40zr18
For 19" - 225/35zr19 or 235/35zr19 (not sure if these fit)

The bolt pattern for our car is 5x114.3. Make sure you get a 7-8" wide rims. I would personally recommend 7.5 which fits perfect. And make sure to stay around a +45mm offset.

This is a very personal question, hahaha. Everyone has different tastes so you have to see what you like. As for fitment, you have to find wheels that are 5 lugs, 114.3, 7-8" wide, as close to +46 offset.

Go with 17" wheels if you want lighter wheels for faster take offs. It will be faster and also better if you are in pothole city.

Go with 18" if you want more show. It will give you a lower profile on the tires and a stiffer ride and better response for cornering performance.

Those are the general rules of thumb. As for color and design, just look at all the distributor sites and see what styles and colors you like.

235/35-19s will most likely rub the fenders unless they are rolled out.

the other sizes are correct but the "zr" speed rating isn't needed, it just confuse people when they are shopping for tires.

Yep, good point. And "Z" rated tires is not the highest speed rating you can get. Usually you choose the type of performance tires you want first, be it Ultra High Performance, All Season, etc., then see what options come up and decide on the rating if it's available in several choices. No one ever chooses tires by rating first, lol.
