I've got 18's at the moment but just ordered some 19's, thinking they'll end up looking a good bit better on my car.

i have no idea where you're getting your information, but 19" tires are MARGINALLY more than 18s or 20s. you might spend $80-$100 more on a set of 19"s vs 18"s/20"s. it's not that big of a deal IMO.

19's looks baller but you will rub alot more than 18. 18 looks better when lowered without a kit and tires are def cheaper as well getting tires installation. 19's you just pay everything more.

Hey, just to set you straight so you don't get 18s for the wrong reason, Tony's car (ACleanSC4) had 19s https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...e-borphes.html


and 19" tires aren't going to cost that much more

18s




19s




aside from the offset and wheel width difference, I like how much better the 19s fill the wheel wells. If you look at the first 18 picture the car makes the wheel look smaller

yes tires a lil more, but not that much more honestly

True. Things change drastically when you have a drop with a crazy offset or wider wheels.

18's Looked ok on my 97. But when I stepped up to 19's I fell in love with my car all over again... 19's all the way and that's my vote. First pic is when I had my 18's on and the second pic is how my car currently sits today with 19's on it now

Damn, I'm in this exact same predicament. Stock '99 for me. I think it'll come down to what specific wheel/fitment I decide on (suspension will follow soon after).

I'll be making a WTB thread in the wheels section soon..
