in my opinion - and from owning them and looking at many MANY pictures/cars, i believe the formula should be:

EA-EL = 18"
AU = 19"
BA-BF = 19/20"

the ea/el's are better suited to an 18 as the height of the car is shorter. as in the width from the top of the wheel guard to the top of the bonnet etc. AU's are taller and require a 19" to look similar. Same applies to BA/BF obviously.

Also if you want a big wheel, but not look TOO big, get something with dish, like AU302 did, and they're a great wheel too, not cheap though! Dish makes a wheel look a little smaller from most angles, but i do still love it so.

Looks great mate.
