If you are getting aftermarket rims, at least get wider than stock.

questions to ask your self budget? reuse stock tires? goals? performance? looks? do you wanna make it fit? or something that will bolt right up without modifications?

There are different types of help. Mine is more of a cynical nature towards people who don't do anything to help themselves.

2FAST;

seriously - if you want more specific info - don't buy your rims yet. Do some research on what people have done and what they did to achieve it. Also understanding the importance of the factoring details (offset, tires, camber, suspension etc.).

If you just want to slap on some rims to look pretty then just follow the guidelines i gave you. and the difference between 38 and 40 is 2mm's. I doubt anybody will notice a difference.
