18" if you want show/bling factor... 17 if you just want bigger/better styling wheels then your stock.... just make sure you get the offsets right... you'll need 48+ offsets front and rear....

the 04 comes with 17's. I'd go 18's, they fill the wheel well very nicely with a 1'' drop. Offsets are not 48+, as it depends on the width of the tire you get. The commonly recommended offests for 7.5'' front and 8.5'' rear is +50 for both. If you decide on a 9.0'' rear, i think its +63. Happy shopping!

well since he through in the fact that he was thinking about 17" i'm asuming he's doesn't have a 04 which comes with 17".. so i'm asuming he's got stock 16" rollers on his car....and +48 will work on a standard setup with 7.5 front and 8.5 rear...50+ is ideal but +48 will work..
