I think the regular V-6 rims are 15x7s and if its a pony package car they are 16x7s. The 16x7s I think have 225/55s on them.
How big do u wanna go?

if you want equal sizes all the way around...275/40/17s are about the limit..if you go with 17s...315/35/17s are the limit in the rear without modifications..
