I am still contemplating on getting 18" or 19" for my Soarer.
What would CL recommend and why?

I use it as a DD, and plan on eventually taking it to the track next season.

 

Go with 18s. 19" tires cost too much.

 

i would say 18's would be optimal for a DD, and track use from time to time. Me personally I would get 18's for DD, and when it comes track time, have a nice set of 17's ready to go just to shave that little bit of rotating mass.

 

18s will let you put on slightly thicker tires which are better for a DD but 19s look nicer.

If you are buying new then i say get 18s but if you are buying used get whatever you find for a good deal.

BTW i wouldnt track my DD tires, it would suck to have one bubble and need replacing.

 

18's are for wimps....

 

For real...stock 16's are where its at...ahem..

 

18's and go low

 

19" tires are 130 bucks... Is that expensive?

19's are the right size for the SC.

 

I have 18's which I think look good, but in regards to looks 19's look better. 18's are better for track use because of less rotating mass as stated above and tires are cheaper. I go through tires too fast at drift events to even consider going with 19's. Think about what your priorities are and make a decision based upon them.

 

Get forged 19's.
Spend some money!

 

19's would look better..

 

agreed. i sold my stock wheels and bought 2 sets of 19s. i'm going to try and sell both of my 19s for some nice 18s. i should just have gone with 18s in the first place.

 

18" jeronimo

 

19''s dude

 

depends are the roads out there. If they are decent i would go 19s if they are nice i would go 20s. I would only track some good 17s anyway.
