Made my decision to stay 18" IMO I like 18" without a lip/dish. Makes 18's look bigger without the lip/dish.

Sweet whips!

18s look alright with a drop.

personally, i went 18s because the car is a lease, and i didnt want to spend the extra $$ on a new set of tires for a different sized wheel.

I want to go lower, but i already scrape on my high driveway and barely clear 8 speed bumps at work on my F-sport springs

car looks great bro, how do those tein s tech's ride?? and what finger gaps do you have now??? I'm considering buying these

^^
1 finger in the rear, 1 3/4 fingers n the front. i have a staggered wheel setup now, with low offsets in the rear, making the rear gap almost non-existant. with stockies, the tein s may not do it for you.

i wish i spent the extra $60 on road magnets. tein s have the second biggest spring drop - 1.7" front, 1" rear. road magents are 2" all around.

otherwise, the tein s are great for daily driving. i cant notice a difference with bumps or road noise. minimal scraping. however, the tein s drop puts you in the same ballpark as many bmw stock wheel gaps. my lex isnt noticeably "dropped" to the average eye. which is why i wish i went road magnets.

Depening on the wheel, there is some truth to that but it is dependent on wheel + tire combo.

The same tire for 18" can be heavier than 19" tire such that the overall weight of 19" wheel + tire is lighter than 18" wheel + tire. Assuming same model wheel and tire + appropriate sizes.

My co-worker told me this because he went with 19" combo for his M3 instead of 18"s becuase of this reason plus hte looks. In his case, it was the tires which made the overall weight for the 18" combo heavier even thou the 19" in wheel was slighty heavier than the 18" version.

Any rubbing with this setup?
