thanks man! The tires are 225/40/18 and 215/40/18 on 10.5 and 9.5 width wheels. I am sure it will look awesome on air! my firend PhillyGS runs a bag over BC coils setup and it is very nice! more comfortable! He also rides just as low as me and parks LOWER! lol...good luck with your project!

I'd say anything will look better if you have the right rims and right drop !

Thanks bro, have been saving for a while now and finally gonna do it right, getting rid of my hideous black rims, ditching them for eurolines , air ride, and a custom paint job. And afcourse all the goodies like tsuna, 3 piece spoiler, roof spoiler, window visors, rear LEDs and new front lights as well. Jus waiting for mid of september.

I'd go with 19s bro. No drop. Keep it stock ride height. Those 19s will look super nice and still keep that stock suspension nice and smooth.

18x9.5 rear with 275/35/18
18x8.5 front with 245/40/18

Lowered on eibach springs only. No fender mods and no rubbing. Im about to roll the fenders and lower it another inch on some coilovers... I think it would look sick...

I do think 19s are great though and 4/5 times they look better... If i get new wheels after my coilovers im going 19s no doubt... I look at my car every day and just wish i did 19s... the tires are a bit more, but who cares if its what you like... just personal preference
