Size of the wheels has nothing to do with a need or want for changing your gearing. Your overall tire diameter does.

^^^ correct, so long as the tire is in the area of 26 inches tall then your close to stock. as far as 18 or 19 in rims,,,, not something i like the looks of, places the car off the ground to far. 17 is the biggest i would go with but thats me looking through my eyes. its all about what you like. there are many pictures on the net you can look through to get a better idea of what you like. 373 gears are nice and is what i will be going with in my 12 bolt when i get the cash to get it.
