If you go 19s..your wheel choice must Win the interwebs and have big brakes to fill in some gaps and coilovers so that your not 4x4in it with stock ride height

Well they're not 19's, but since the thread has changed to who likes what better . I say 17" 18" stagger. With the proper offset of course.

yeah 19 are a little too big for me but if i had the money to do it (and do it right), why not?

i say stay with the 17 to 18 range homie, rocking 17's front and 18's rear on my car. they look big enough.

front view of mine..


back view...

+35 in the rear i believe will fit fine but up front i it will come close...

its all depending also on what width you want to go for...Most important you have to accommodate width and offset when your dealing with fitment. Tires, suspension and body (ie fenders) can all be change slightly to make the wheels fit.

Rears are fine, but fronts will need atleast a 5mm spacer for coilovers, and more if you have stock style struts and springs.

check this out... mines are 8.5 up front +35!!!!! tell me about it, came really close to my suspension man.

I have 5mm spacer up front now to fix that but stay in the +30 to +25 range if you want to go 8.5 in the front.

yeah kinch specs are 17x8.5 +35 up front, rears are 18x10 +25, my camber looking to getting it fixed... there about around -1 to -2!! ahh

I looked it up, the offset is 50mm. And they're 18x8. so you would need like 20 or 25mm in the front. The rears would fit fine, but I would run 25mm in the rear and 20 in the front. Pretty flush and aggressive
