i cant decide!!! Im saving up money for some new shoes, but im not sure which size would look better!!! 19 inch or 18 inch.....please post ur opinion! O and show me some pics of your rims if you wish

 

If you are going to have springs on, I would recommend 18s. 19s will look good tho, just don't lower it too much.

if you see my profile, you can see my setup

 

Id say go with 18s..

18's + S-techs > 19's + trd springs

thats just my oppinion

HOWEVER!!!
there are def exceptions! like WDS's tC...bc he def is pulling it off...ive seen some others too though

but what rims are u looking at to buy? figure that out first

 

Well i was looking at something along the lines of this...

Looked pretty clean in my opinion.

 

yeah bro those are very clean...i like them alot...
go with the 18 and get s-tech springs
u wont regret it

 

19's + s-techs > 18's + s-techs


Although I'm a bit biased.

 

but isnt that just going to give him problems with rubbing?
like soo much to where the car isnt fun to drive?
and yes im asking u a question not trying to call u out..

 

Running 19x7.5 et 42 215/35/19 ... the only rubbing issue I have is when I hit a dip in the road going fast, my fronts rub a bit on the inner plastic lining. No biggy IMO. Otherwise, I don't have any rubbing issues.

Just get the right offset and 19s will be fine.

Hell theres a guy on SL, don't know the name off the top of my head, but he's from Arizona that is running 20s on S-techs and he has no issues either.

 

I have 18s with TRD Springs. I guess it all depends on what you want to do with your car. Do you want it for 'show'? Or do you want it for 'performance'? Lots of peeps will say not to go past 18s if you're going the 'performance' route. (Most will say stick with 17s.) I went with 18s because my tC is a daily driver and I don't plan to SC/Turbo it. Here's a pic...

Also, TRD Springs won't wear out your shocks as quickly as some other Springs will. I don't rub either. (And we have some pretty crappy roads here.) The stats on my set-up is 18" 5Zigens RX-6 +35 w/Pirelli PZero Nero M+S 225/40s. I think its swell!

 

they're going to be extremely heavy, so if you're going for performance go with 18, or even a lightweight set of 17s.

if you're just going for looks, go with 19s.

 

Alright 18s with s-tech springs it is!!! Sounds very good....how much would those s-tech springs cost?

 

springs should probably be somewhere around $150, but you may want to get some shocks as well. i'm assuming you'll be doing the install yourself?

 

Ive done both.......originally i had axis sevenmods and they were heavy and casued some noticable lag and issues when i braked (sloppy) i switched to 18's due those issues. 19's look good.... however my recomendation is if you go 19"s at least upgrade your brakes.
Check my profile i think i have pics of both set ups.
also total rotating mass is about 50-55 pounds including tires and air.......that is almost twice what i have now (18's)
Unless you spend some money and get some forged or other lightweight wheel in a 19" fittiment you will have some performance loss.

 

19's look good 18's are safer

 

well the thing is with performance.. smaller tires are better since you get faster acceleration... bigger tires higher top speed

 

Also 18's are easier to find than other rim shops

 

20's and cut the stock springs... Uhhhhhh

 

20's would be a nice addition, I don't know cutting the stock springs, but its all good!

 

I am thinking going with these:

19" TSW Black Montages:

On a Super White tC:


Credits go to Jester28 for the white tC.

I would get 19s and go with H-Techs as I have read they are perfect and safe for 19s for no rubbing.
