What's the most popular tire and rim sizes?

Hi, I just got a 03 coupe and thinking about getting new rims for it first. What's the size of tires/rims that most people get here? Eventually I want to lower it also

Most people who upgrade rims do 19's..however 20's look the coolest. If you do not have a ton of potholes in your area, i suggest 20' rims because they look amazing..go to the modification area and look at the wheels and tires forum

if you go 19's....

19X10 in the rear 275/35/19
19x9 or 8.5 in the front 245/35/19

20x10 in the rear 275 (285) 30/20
20x9 in the front 245/35/20 probably or maybe 30 sereies


those are most common

Thanks for the replies so far guys. Do you guys agree that, for someone that just care more about the looks of the car, and not really about performance, rims and lowering the car is pretty much the first step right?

if you go 19's and lightweight 2 or 3 piece wheels it wont affect your performance. 20's will slow your car down but not THAT much. and if your going for all show, go 20's it looks HOTT!!
