Well im thinking of getting a set of rims. I want to get 19's, but i dont want to slow the car down that much so i wanted to go with 18's. The problem is the 18s for some reason look so much smaller than the 19's. Is there that big of a difference between the 2, or is it the actual tire sidewall size that makes them look bigger?

I want to get 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 in the rear. It says the recommend tire sizes are 225/45/18- front and 265/40/18- rear. 225 sounds to small for the front though...? Also, does anyone know of a company that makes the tire sidewall a size 30? i think 30 would be perfect for the 18s.....

 

I don't think it is a good idea to get 30 profile it 18's - thats a very low profile used mostly with 19 or 20 inch wheels and I think they would make your 18's look even smalled, plus drop your car so you would end up bottoming out more often.

I say you should get 19"s 245/40 front and 275/40 rear - same profile as stock 19"s. This will give you a little more cusion than the 35 profile most guys are running with 19's. Get a nice lip and you wont have to worry about your wheels looking small.

 

Although that is a good recommendationa nd i'm not discounting it at all, i wanted to add, that tire prices and choices are very limited at that size of 245/40/19

 

I have been looking into the same thing boxa i want 18s as well cause i dont want to slow the car down to much. Except i want to see someone with a 35MM sidewall!

Anyone have any pictures of a set of 18s (stock or non-stock) with 35 being the size of the side wall?
