What do you guys think? I am digging these Konig's but am not sure what size or even what size tire to get. I am looking at 18x7.5, 18x8, or 19x8...I was thinking of wrapping them with Nitto NT555's, but again don't know what size tire to get. Anyways, any opinions and/or help would be appreciated.

For an 18" you'd probably be good with a 225/45.

The folks with 19" can chime in with what they are running and how it feels.

Its your own preference if you want 18's or 19's. Also I recommend getting wheels that are at least 8" wide.

As for tire size I recommend:18x7.5-8.5: 225/45/18, 235/45/18, 245/45/18, 245/40/18 or if you have 18x8.5" wide, you can even go a little wider tires: 255/40/18 19x7.5-8.5: 225/40/19, 235/40/19, 245/40/19, 245/35/19

Oh and I wouldn't get the NT555 tires. I have heard many bad reviews on them.

I snapped this shot of a black Coupe w/ Konig Hotswaps on, didn't look closely to see the tire size or rim size

Ok, nix the last wheel...it's on back order until 6-08. My wife wants to buy my wheels for my b-day on the 30th. I dig these, and they are cheaper than the Hotswap's.

yeah, but even those were more expensive too...I Photoshop'd the last pictured wheels on to my car and like the way they look.

If you decide to go with Konig's let me know. I have started working really closely with Konig and they have given me GREAT pricing. I will be happy to help you get the price when you are ready.
