Default 03 v6 good rim size?

For a 2003 v6 would 18" x 9" with a 23 offset fit properly?

and what would be a good tire size to put on?

Depends on your goals. It will suck all the torque out of your engine trying to turn those wheels.

The lighter, the better. You can get 16" bullets that weight 19lbs for around 120 bucks each from Mr Bodykit. I've looked at them several times, but I need draglites for the track......

yeah, I wouldn't go any larger than 17", and not much heavier than 22lbs on the wheel.

The lighter the better for acceleration on the rear . ..l
