Message	It all depends on what your comfortable with. With 16s you'll have more tire flex, but keep traction longer. 17s will have less sidewall flex, but break loose sooner. Personally, I'm more comfortable with breaking loose than rolling a tire. Unless you've got 'tarded power, 18+ is for looks.
