stock with brembos are 18x8 front and rear...

19x8.5 w/ 245/35/19 tires on front and 19x9.5 on rear with 275/35/19 on rear, would be ideal and is prolly the most common...u can go up to 19x9.5 in the front and 19x10.5 on the rear without rolling the fenders, the only problem with would be that the larger rim widths would be more prone to bending.

if it's a daily driven car go with smaller widths, there will be less headaches-pain to keep taking rims to shops to fix bends

so wait stock 18's are same in front and back? i thought since the tires were wider in rear that they would be half inch wider. anyway, then you suggest 8.5 in front and 9.5 in rear? or what is the most popular? i assume no one gets 8 in front and rear right?

also, I was debating on 20's but my springs (SPRINT) i think that will be too much since my car is dropped fairly low. I assume the rubber on 20's are thinner but in comparison with 19's will they be that much taller? thanks RX

I have 19" Volk GT-V 9.5 front and 10.5 rear and im runnning 245 tires in the front and 275 tires in the rear. Went with the JDM Stretched look, looks hot in my opinion. The wheels look and feel great.
