Hyundai Elantra While not much larger than the accent, the Elantra offers similar room, but a sportier look and feel, as well as more power.

You'll need to re-tire with a low aspect size so that overall circumference that is close to original spec's.

I am currentl;y running 18" rims they look awesome,

You can easily fit 18's on so long as you run A typre wall of 35mm my rubber is about 215/35/R18 (Looks more like a lacky band than a tyre)

Running this size rubber has helped my handling alot, however the ride has become a little rougher. The bnus is that this rubber is not bigger than the factory fitted rubber so there is no need to recalibrate your speedo or when the spare goes on you dont have a ****ty lean.

Best of luck

if you live in an area with bad roads, lots of snow, and its a daily driver, i'd reconsider getting 18's, after getting a lower profile tire to match the origanal circumfrance, you will have virtually no side wall,,,no side wall with pot holes, means you will have dented rims, then all that money you spent will be for nothing. 18's are cool, but think of functionality, but hey,,,who am i to say anything, just wanted to warn ya. But if you live in warmer areas with nice roads, go for it

Just FYI, the "35" in the tire size is not in mm. It's called the aspect ratio and it's 35% of the tire width. So if the tire is 215mm wide and aspect ratio is 35 then the sidewall height is 215*.35=75.25mm.
