You can definitely put 18s on. I've heard of 19s but I personally think it's overkill. I'm going with the TRD 18" 5-spokes myself once I wear out my stock tires. A ton of people on the forum have 18s so it's definitely doable.

I'm sure you can go up to 20 (which is ridiculous) but 17-19 should fit just fine. I'm currently running 17x8 wheels.

Drop it first then get rims. If you get rims and dont drop there will be a large wheel gap.. Painful for the eyes.

You can fit a 19" easy with the right offset, otherwise you will rub when turning.

Personally, I won't go that big for corolla. Bigger rims will kill your low end pickup from launch from a stop. I wouldn't go anything bigger than 17", not to mention tires are cheaper and more selections.

Your speedo reading will be another issue if not fitted with the right measurements tires

as above said... 19's will fit. I have 17's and love the combo of look and ride with them. I did the drop first as well.

Secondly,

Secondly,
+1 I love the look of my 17x8 & the ride, handling & just enough sidewall to look right but still protect the wheel.

18s should be the sweet spot for this car. you definitely need to lower it. if youre gonna slam it for w.e reason youd have an easier time going 17s. haha it might just be the euro in me =] id look for either the TRD 5 spokes or some 18s of pretty much any lexus IS

haha i got my 2011 last thursday and its already cut and slightly rolled/pulled on STOCK suspension!

CAUTION: it will most likely look akward if you don't lower the car first
