BTW Androdz you should have no problem with brake clearance. My 20's fit fine.

Here are my 20's in black, I think your gonna have a hard time finding people with 19's. Most people either go for 18's or 20's. I say if your thinking about 19's you might as well get 20's. As long as you get good tires, it should ride nice still (not as smoothly as 18's though). I live in NY and if I had to do it over again I would get 20's still.

...Curious..where did u get the GT 5oo brakes from and how much...Thanks





ORIGINAL: androdz

Hi I am about to upgrade my wheels because I recently bought the gt-500 brakes and was told they would not fit my 17 inch factory wheels. I am looking for new tires. I know I am gonna get 8.5 width for the front and 10 inches for the back. I still dont know if I should get the 18's or 19's. Anyone have pictures of actual 18 or 19 in their cars??

Thanks,
Andrew

ebay, 360$ Now just need to get the steel lines, the rotors, dust shield and I am set. The same kit retails from brembo for 2,100. Also stowestang how does the ride feel with the 20's and the lowering springs??

I only have the 20s no springs yet, but soon. It is a little stiffer with the 20's than with the 18"s but a good sacrifice to make for the look IMO... I've heard the spings make it more stiff, but beauty has it's price... Always.

Dumb question of the day. What's the difference between "regular" and "deep dish" billets? It appears to be the spokes are set into the tire a bit more but does this make the tire ride outside of the finder wells more?
