Default 18" or 19" ?

I narrowed my wheel choices to two wheels...

By the way I am planning on going with Tein Flex for my MY06...

1. BBS LM Black 18" with Toyo T1R

2. Racing Hart C4R Black (These only come in 19" and I will save money over the BBS LM)

For the front: 19X7.5 OR 19X8.5 is ok? and for the rear 19X9 or 19X10 is too big?

So is 19" too big for our S2K's?

Any inpur woul be appreciated...

You've said nothing about offset. Rather than playing 20 questions, have a look at this. When you have all the details, the answers can be found there:

even 18's look like bling to me...

over sized rims look like you're trying to hard.


but it is your car buy the wheels you think look the best, but know that you're hobbling your cars performance.

Dont go 19, theyre too big. Even when the tire gap is eliminated the car sits too high up.

I'd go for 18 as well...

If you do go for 19, you have to slam the car so hard to look good that you will not enjoy driving your car anymore...
