I would go with the 18's. I have the DD anthracite bullitts from MT. Great price and looks good.

Depen'd on how much you want to spend on tire's.You can get 17's alot cheaper.But the 18's would look alot better or the 20's on an 05 for the win!!

I was in the same boat, not sure about 17's or 18's. I came across a GREAT deal on some 18's WITH tires and voila, I now have 18's. Tell you this, I would have regretted going with 17's even if they were the Deep Dish Black Bullitts I wanted.

155r12's...18 are prob the best bet fr 05+ lots to choose from and tires aren't too bad $ wise. I've seen a few 05+ with 20s but the choices are fewer and more$$.
