OK, let's NOT go down the road of personal attacks and the like or I'll kill this thread.

Keep the comments civil please.

I do have a rubbing issue... but I wouldn't if I hadn't lowered the car 3"+! The sacrifice you have to make for style...

BlackS2000Turbo...I agree with you, on the sacrifice one has to make so that the car looks GREAT... I have to go down one more inch, and by this week i will be a inch lower. I like the way your car sits on those 18"

S&M - I went to a performance shop today and the owner told me the MOST important modification to a car is tires. Without great rubber to connect you to the road everything else is worthless. With that said, he suggest going with 17 or 18's. He claims that with these sizes you will have a larger selection of quality rubber. With 19's you loose out on a variety of tires and might compromise the rest of your car.

I prefer 18's, 19's just look too big for our cars.
