actually I think I tire with that short of a sidewall looks like ass. You gotta have some meat on the rims, enough to make a smooth ride and look substansial. I personally wouldnt go with anything lower than 40.

18s on a tib = ghey unless its strictly show.

I just want to let you know that I was dead set on getting some 18's on my tib because I love the way that they look on my friends cars.

Well after DRIVING a couple of my friends cars and a number of conversations on this site, I decided to go with 17's. They will be in this week, so I will know more then, but I came to the conclusion that 18's on a daily driver would be a BIG PITA.

On the other hand, I would like to have a set of 19's to put on AT the shows and use strictly for show wheels, but nothing over 17's on a daily driver.
