18s for performance.

19s for looks.

but both will gross if the car is not lowered anyway.

Get 19"s! I love my 18"s, but 19"s look awesome on the SC. Just make sure it's lowered.

18s or 20s... I know that wasnt one of your choices but as people have said, the 19 tires cost more. nice 20s look awesome on these cars. If you are going to do any body mods, the 18s will look too small very fast. Just depends on the look you are going for

18s. You like to drive? Ever hit a pothole? 18s are as big as you should go. Unless you are a professional parker.

Yes. It's another 18 or 19 thread.

19s do look better but I have a fender, front bumper, paint and coils to take care of buy summer. I'm gonna go with 18's, keep in the garage till summer and ride them out then. If money is better I'll go with a set of 19's. Who knows. Hopefully I'll be able cop a set of staggered 19's without the rape price later. Thanks for the input everyone.

That is an EXCELLENT answer. You can always upgrade later!!! And running the risk of burning through a wiring harness out back is just scary!

19 inch tires are easily like 3 times the price of 18's or even 20's.

Screw that jazz.
