The largest reommended wheel and tire for a matix would be a 235/35/19. This tire is the same outside diameter as the original equipment 17's. Keep in mind however the bigger the wheels the more of the road you will feel when driving. In other words the car may ride very poorly with the larger tires. The tradeoff is of course improved handling, if the wheels are of a reasonable weight.

19 or 20feet huh? didnt know they made rims that huge...jk that whole bit with the little hash marks for inches and feet remind of the flick "This is Spinal Tap" if anyones ever seen it when he draws the plans for the stone henge and a napkin and puts the " instead of the ' for feet and they have a mini stone henge on stage...hilarious, but yea i would run 18s, 19s and 20s are quite large not unless ur planning to be in DUB magazine

There's a guy on www.matrixowners.com that has 20's on his Matrix in PR. I believe his screen name is Matrixon20s (go figure). Looks odd to me.
