Default 18s with AC kit

Im thinking of getting rid of my BBS LMs (19s)
How would 18s look with Work Meister SP3s?

18x9.5+22F
18x11+22R

Would 18s be too small?

Keep the LM's! They're so classic and I think they look much better than SP3's. Here's mine:

I know Raine is running 18's with the Shine kit (pretty much the same as the AC)

18"s look way too small. You will need 19"s or 20"s to pull it off.

my rule of thumb is . 92-00 no body kit 18's /19's tops . with any bodykit 20's it is , again MY rule of thumb

20x9 , 20x11.5

18's always look smaller when you get a body kit.

its all about the fitment like others have stated, you can pull 18s off with the AC kit, but if you want to ditch the LMs you can pass them my way.

OP with the sizes you posted on the 18's I think you could pull it off nicely. Your car already does look very good though. I tried 19's for about a week and didn't like how the car felt honestly. I have 18x10 and 18x11 for example...
