Re: rim sizes

You can use whatever wheels you want as long as you buy tires accordingly. On a 16" wheel you would use a 245/55-16 tire but on a 20" wheel you would need to use a 245/35-20 tire

Re: rim sizes

Also keep in mind, as you start getting into the sizes above 16", you may have to run some type of spacer depending on the offset and backspacing available in the particular wheel you want to run.
