When you get into those bigger diameter wheels you will lose a little bit of ride softness, and there's really not a lot you can do about it except to suck it up. Just keep in mind that your overall wheel/tire diameter will be about an inch and a half greater than stock in the rear and about an inch greater up front.
Well I'd rather sacrifice ride quality over 19s. Imo there's nothing better then a sc with 19s and a nice stance. As for overall diameter, I don't think I'll have a problem clearing anything. There's a lot of space in the wheel wells, and a 40 series tire should fill it out nicely. I guess we will just have to wait and see what it looks like.

Picking up some wheels tomorrow. 18x9.75 with a +20 offset. What tire size would be good? Car is also going to be lowered. Also would roll fenders if I have too.

4. i was hoping to get some rims with a nice lip. but so far i haven't found anything i like or what seems to fit. as you've put it. to be honest i love the stretched look just cas i personally think it looks bad ***

i respect the advice that your giving me, don't get me wrong, and yes im very newb when it comes to car's,wheels, and parts but i know what i like and if it's on the menu i want it. regardless of how much it may cost me.

btw thanks for the help and the input really appreciate it

btw if you look at bender 25's sc300 it's a perfect example of what im going for... but again more sporty and less cholo looking. check out boss rim 333 and 328 and you'll know what i mean that kind of look. btw heres the link to bender25's sc300

Go with a 255/35/18 for the rear. They will match better with the 225's.

i am actually leaning towards the brand new and improved continental tire, extreme contract DWS. they are a great all season tire that performs well in wet conditions, and they seem to stretch better as well. has anyone ever actually tried these tires? i actually love the tread design a lot

so i need some advise on tires... sc400 dropped about an inch, 20x8.5 and 20x10 +35 all around. what is the biggest tire i can put on this. by big i mean overall hight so the car runs a bit smoother

edit: fenders are rolled but im not pulling.

Anybody...?
