18" Wheels vs. 20"'s

19" Drifts here also. I run 275/40 19 in Hankook Ventus V12s. They were only $208 each shipped from discount tire direct. They look good on my non-lowered car. It doesn't tramline any worse than it did with the stock tires. I think 20s are a little too big because you have to run such a small sidewall.

I just went back to 18s after rocking 20s for a few years, and I am happy happy happy!

The car rides so much better, and the handling seems much more responsive.

Who makes a 19x10 that fits the front on Brembo cars? I see plenty of 19x9.5s, but I'd sure prefer a 10.

So you're getting the s95 18" drifts and not the s197 drifts? I was considering the staggered 18" drift package but the black 18x10's are on back order.

Yup, got 18x9s all around fitment is good but you can't go too wide on the tire. currently running the stock 235s (obviously they have weird sidewall profiles but just want to use them up). Plan is to go 255 when these are done and that would be just right for flush with fender. I put a 275 on one to see how it would look in the rear and it stuck out too much...

will try to get pics of my setup tomorrow...

vossen cv3's, forgestar, and niche just to name a few.

^^ Yup. Avant Garde as well

Thanks for the leads. I never see that size advertised for the front though. Do you just have to call and talk to them about it? I wouldn't think it'd be some secret-squirrel stuff???

 

[mikeyfitz]

Yeah, you can. You can always just run the rear offset on the fronts as long as the offset isnt too drastic.

I ran +42 on 18x10s just fine.

 

[Jucostud]

I ran +40 on 20x10's just fine. Now i run +45 with 20x10.5's, but i wouldn't really call that something you could just bolt up.
