heres the car http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...6/IMAG0051.jpg I would shy away from 19's. The tire sidewall will be very tiny with a 19" wheel and your ride quality will suffer. I don't know what roads look like in Boston, but I imagine they aren't always too smooth. ;) |
I'm with Mahjik on this one. 18 gives you the most wheel and tire options. I have a friend with 19s on his FD, and he's constantly complaining and wanting to switch to 18s.

If I were buying wheels today, I'd look at something like the 5zigen Pro Racer ZR:
http://www.racinglab.com/5zigen-zr52...ls-bronze.html or the Gullflame Gravity wheels: http://www.phantasmusa.com/gullflamegun.html Those are some aggressive offsets, but they can work on a FD. Neither are very common wheels on the FD so you won't look like "just another FD3S". But they are decent quality wheels. |
18s and in Bronze...

sounds good, i just got the car painted will rolling the fendes cause any damage to paint or body? how do i go about doing that anyways? also sorry for being a pain but what size tires i like the large wide look in the back. thanks.

I'd probably do:
235/40/18 255/35/18 with those sizes and offsets which you can get in the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Specs. |
my personal opinion:
silver rims to have a plain, non stand out, subtle look. bronze to have a sporty, souped up look. black, or black with red lip to have a aggressive look. of course the design pattern of the rim will play a big factor on the looks, as well as your other exterior mods. |
255 is that the widest i can go on the back?

oh ok that sounds good.
are those wheels really concave looking i cant find a side view of them. |
You may run into issues depending on how low you make your car with rubbing in the rear which is why I would suggest 255. Keep in mind it's the wheel which makes the wide look, not necessarily the tire itself. i.e. a smaller tire is still going to look 9.5", there will just be a little taper to the sidewall for the stretch (which will help avoid rubbing).

19" too big. 18" I think is just right, especially if it has a lip.

The 18 v 19 debate has been argued 100 times on year. I have had several sets of wheels in both sizes. You can only pull off 19" wheels on a fd if they are either step lip or 3pc/rivets as that makes the wheel appear to be smaller, it is hard to pull off a 19" full face wheel. My 19s ride just as fine as 18s, never had an issue. If you go to the track then I would suggest much smaller wheels.
