I would like a set of 18s, but American Racing only makes the ar-120s
in 17s, 20s or 22s. They also stopped producing the machined series
that I want in that wheel, so I must get either chrome or black.
Since my dak is white, I am going with the chrome wheels (ar-620
series I believe).
This is why I must choose between 17s or 20s.
With 17s I would probably run a 255/55R17. With 20s I would probably
run a 245/40R20. Both would keep me within 0.1" of stock tire height
till I decide on my lowering options.
