If worrying about potholes, stick with 18s and fit the most sidewall you can. I don't worry about potholes too much and currently run 255/30/19 and 225/35/19 tires.

If going aftermarket coilovers, I recommend BC Racing.

19x8.5/9.5. Lowered on H&R springs. But our roads are pretty good here and I’ll bob and weave to miss imperfections in the roadway. 18” wheels still look nice as well especially when lowered.
