Default lowered on 18's?

I'm getting wheels. I want 19s but all the 19s I want is sold or not my style. I'm thinking going 18 is bit small. What u guys think? Should I settle with 18s for now? Lol

PLZ POST PICS......18's & 19's

Here is mine in 18's. They are cheap and ugly but they look better than stock while I save for 19's.

In order to pull off 19s on these wider body cars your going to need to slam to pull them off otherwise it'll be too small

I have df210 so almost 2" lower on 19s and I think it fits perfect. Those 18s look great too. Mine still rides very smooth too. Takes bumps like a champ and corners well for a fatty. I'll post pics when I get home.

I scrape EVERYWHERE. My subframe hits and my exhaust has been flattened. I'll go a tad lower when I get new wheels.
