You can go up to 18" with no issues. When going this large, the most important thing to consider is tire size and wheel offset. Keeping this in the proper range will cause you no rubbing problems.

Check here. It's the best discussion I've seen for wheel sizes on XD Elantras (2001-2006 model years in the U.S.)
