Default 89 hatch rim fitment

im looking to buy some rims for my hatchy and im wondering what is the highest size that will fit?

when i enter my car on the rim website, this set of rims doesnt appear. the sizes start at 17x8.

these are the rims that i want to buy TSW VORTEX-- can i pull it off?

Yes you can, but it depends on how low your car is (i.e. if you have aftermarket suspension) and how much cabin noise you want. I have 17s on my hatch and they look great, but I definitely noticed a decrease in handling and acceleration b/c they're so big and heavy and going over bumps is a lot noisier than with the stock 14s and my rears rub my wheel wells every once in a while. Just my .02.

P.S. There are plenty of aftermarket wheels for your car that go from 13-16 inches too
