those are 19s. it it not a good idea to have 19s on an FD unless it is an all out show car, since even the lowest profile 19" tires still have larger diameters than the OEM tire. and even if you do get the lowest profile 19" tires available, one little pebble on the ground and you can kiss your blingin wheels goodbye.

Mike, might i reccomend 18x9 and 18x10 Kinesis K59-Rs shod with 245/35-18s and 285/30-18s. that will be an awesome combo!

Where can I find sideskirts like those and how much do they cost? This is the second car I've seen them on, but I can't seem to find a place that sells them. Thanks.

The kinesis is a much better quality wheel. Basically made to order, hubcentric, titanium harware, 3 piece, etc. Volks are pretty good too, but not nearly as high end. In terms of looks, its a matter of opinion but I think the kinesis with the fat lip is much nicer.

BTW, the K59R are not 19" they are 18". They have the reverse dropped center. I can't really tell the difference from the pics though.

they are the mazda oem skirts. unfortunately, they are only eom in Japan, so you have to get lucky and find them on ebay, or sweet talk someone in japan to go down to the dealer, buy them and ship them to you.

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to disagree with you.....

I'm getting 18x10s with 285/30s for the front and 18x10.5s with 295/30s for the rears

The 285s WILL fit with coilovers and the 295s...well....I'm almost positive they will also fit. If not, I'll just have to settle for 285s all the way around
