Default Going to buy new Rims/Tires.

Okay, You've all probably all seen these kinda posts where the Author doesnt know a thing... (Me)
I am looking for a nice set of Rims/Tires to go with my BSP TC. I dont have any drops on the car so the suspension is stock and thats the way I wanna keep it. I was looking for a set that would probably be what.. 18's or possibly 19's that will not rub against the car. My last car did that and drove me crazy. Any Suggestions? I tried reading the sticky above but was..confused. What should I do to learn about this or someone point me to the right direction?

if you want to remain at stock height then 19's would be a good choice, and you probably want something with a 3" lip or 4" so that it flushes well with the wheel well

Your best bet is to read as much as possible in this thread to find all the answers you need. There are so many threads here that can help you, and a few that want to make you scream!! If you go 19's it will be better to go with a more light weight wheel, which will cost you between 1800-2200 just for the rims. I have heard many problems with the heavier 19's. I have researched alot, and i am still blocked to know what i really want in tires/rims.... Just make sure you doo all the reserch yourself so you know what you really want.

Good Luck...

I've seen those Unknows and they look sweet. I've only seen em once around these parts. I was also interested in these. But shouldnt I get 18's so they dont rub? The roads around here suck! and heres a pic I was thinking which look nice. What do you guys think?

Okay so I made up my mind, These look sleek and are affordable.

I plan on getting these now and getting tires later when I use up more of my stock tires etc.
These come in 18.8 and was wondering if any rubbing will occur? Will these fit the car? and recommened tires to go with these? And lastly, what do you guys think of the rims?
