hey
i've been looking around to get me a set of wheels and tires, but im not sure what size i should go with yet
i have a pretty good idea of what rims i want, as of now they are deep dish black, im thinking 18' but i dont want to small, and at the same time i dont want to big, 19' would probably be the best cuz i think 20's would be a lil too big because i dont plan on putting body kit or anything to make it look bigger
any ideas guys?

18" x 9, it isn't the size of the rim as much as the size of the tires.

I would go with 18 but Oddysey really has a good point about the tire. Plus 19 the tires I have heard are hard to get and really expensive and 20 they weigh too much they slow you down on

Hopefully one day some the call out the weight card when discussing tires and rim will actually realize that a 20" tire the same height and width as an 18" tire is that the 20" tire is actuallt LIGHTER! Hello there is LESS RUBBER! Those that have actually weighed each their tire and rim seperatly will know of the two the tire is heavier than the rim...

SO IF the 18" and 20" rims weight the same or close the 20" tire and rim combo could actually weigh less ... go figure!

Please DON'T take this to say ALL 20" rims ar lighter than ALL 18" rims ... But light 20" can be found if searched and no I will NOT do your research.

To the O/P check prices and availiblity of tires before purchacing. as was mentioned of the 18, 19, 20 inch sizes usually 19s are most expensive then 20 then 18 .... 18 & 20 inch tires come in almost any size wanted ... again 19's are somewhat more limited.

Either 18 or 20 will be a nice upgrade to your car!

That comment could start a huge debate... and a light 20" still weighs more than a light 18" apples to apples...

I think this would be a good place for people to post pics and the tire size they went with. I'm looking into getting 18's right now and am still trying to figure out what tire size to go with.

FYI. When I purchased my car, it came with the 20" Cobra R rims and Sumitomo HTRZII tires. Last year, when I had to replace out the tires, I purchased the tires from Tirerack.com and they only cost $109.00 a piece!! Tire size: 255/35 R20.

I do get a lot of compliments in person and due to the huge wheel wells most people don't think they are 20's. My signature pic does not do them justice. They look better in person.
