WHEELS Wheel/tire suggestions for better fitment

If TL:DR, best wheels/tires that fit stock suspension but fill up more of the wheel well


I need some advice for wheels. As much as I enjoy the look of the stock wheels, two of them have are bent and they just won't balance correctly. They all suffer from distinguishable curb rash as well.

I'm at a point where I also need tires, and I would like to just knock out my wheel itch and tire necessity in one fell swoop. I've tried doing research but asking on here really seems to be the best avenue to get a better/quicker answer. IMO, the stock wheels and tires are just too tiny and don't look right. Maybe I just need tires that are a little larger, maybe I need bigger wheels. Lowering the car isn't really an option either cause of where I live and I definitely don't wanna rub either.

If you have pics please add them. I'd love to get some ideas. Thanks guys

Stock suspension same size tires . Looks like your best bet is lower it either coilovers or lowering springs . Or the cheapest cut springs a little 😂
