19s or 18s on my 5AT Coupe.

Hey guys I'm new to posting on the forums but I have been lurking on the site for awhile. My 05 5AT has 19 inch rays I was curious of moving down to 18s would affect anything? Would it make my car a little faster and improve handling?

Coupe that would be pretty darn sunk (more than OEM depending on your wheels now)

I ran a 9.5 + 17 with zero fender work and it was still a touch tucked (not much IMO, but i'm not a hella fan either)

Yea the IS's don't have tonnes of space. I'm impressed he got those under the fenders.

Not really, might feel a little quicker with the 18s but its not going to affect much

You'll need an alignment after a camber kit... that's kinda what it's for.

Forgive me for not sifting thru 350 pages if this has already been answered before lol. But I have an 03 coupe with Brembo's. Looking at doing 18x9.5 +15 all the way around. Car is not lowered. Wondering if I will have any fitment issues with that set up? Also what tire sizes should I run with that? Thanks yall.

How aggressive would 19 inch 9.5/10.5, -24/-17 wheels be on a coupe with rolled fenders?
