18<19>20

i agree, 19s with the eibachs look the best.

thats just my opinion, you will get plenty more now that I said it looks the best lol

Edit* as far as price of tires its kind of a parabola. 18s are def. cheaper. 19s are more expensive. then 20s are usually a little less than 19s. Of course this will all depend on brand, but i think thats a pretty general idea.

Just make sure you buy a tire with a good tread wear rating..i.e. the UTQG rating. I would say anything from 260ish and up would be pretty good. hope this helps

24" wheels are the only way to go on the A/C ...

turn that A/C into a donk! and then raise it up

19s do look the best BUT it also depens on the rims ive seen 18s that dont look that good but i have 18s and they look perfect 19s werent needed

Also if you wanna shell out a s***ton for tires then buy 19s but if u want a better ride quality and one where potholes arent as annoying 18s are better. i personally like my 18s and think they are perfect bc of both price and looks, but ive seen 18s that dont look good, so its on u 18s or 19s

I don't know DOC. The A/C has a lot of round curves. So I think it would make it a bubble.

throw some D's on that bi*ch!!!!!!!

nww, honestly, if I could do it all over again, I may have gone with 19's... the thing is, to get the "coorect" size tires that bring the wheel dimeter closest to OEm specs, the tires are crazy expensive... so most A/C owners on this forum have 19" rubber that's too small because it costs less...

but basically, if you get either a 18" or 19' wheel, DO NOT get one that has a lip... the lips make the wheels looks smaller than they are... wheels like the moda mr2's that have 5 star designs that extend down to the ruber of the tire, fill out the wheel well very nicely, but are still only 19" leaving you room for more rubber on the tire!

I say 18"s, that's what I have and I love them, esp with my low profile tires.

I vote 19's unless your roads are not in the best condition. I am saving up for 19's right now it took me like 2 years but I finally found rims that I like

I have 18s on with a lip and it does look small for car. I plan on going with something more aggressive when I finish school. I plan on going with 19x9 or 19x9.5 +30 all around with stretch tires (I have BC Racing coilovers), and will roll my fenders some more so I wont have major rubbing issue.

Depending on that I will probably get spacers if its not sitting the way I want.

Current set up is 18x8.5 +35 front and 18x8.5 +15 rears.

So my vote say 19s
