Dead thread revival. I decided on 18X8.5 and put 245/40R18 and they rubbed. I loved the way the 18's looked thought.

We realize the drawbacks.I think its funny how some members were saying that its ghetto to put 19"s........ they must think it is just because they don't have some
15's with stickies = sex
19's are way ghetto on an eclipse besides the fact they weigh 50lbs a pc.

I know you don't want the 16's, 17's, or 18's discussed but look at my car. This is 18X8's with 225/40/18 tires and a 1.75 inch drop on just springs and struts. If I had coilovers the fitment would obviously be much much better. If your looking for a flush fitment and a smooth ride i would suggest 18's because everyone with 19's instantly regrets it. Don't call BS on me because your only asking for trouble with 19's.
+1, Thats what I think. I'll race it up on the streets but I'm not like ditching the AC and cruise and all the interior and caging it. I like the sex look. Makes the car look more exotic. I think 18's are the smallest I'd ever go but I'd always say to myself that I Want 19's like I always have. Now I do.18's or 19's = Pure sex. Everybody knows the drawbacks of going with a bigger rim. If you don't intend of racing it then who cares.
Not mine! My big brake setup limits 18's as the smallest. They are HUUUGGGGEEEE! Just need a nice purty caliper back there to show sheit off!Brakes look smaller-True
19s FTW.
+1 I love my 19's. I am running 19x8.5 in the front with 225/35/19 and 19x9 in the rear with 265/35/19. I have it dropped with springs 1.7 in the front and 1.5 in the rear with the fenders rolled and its looks great to me with a little rub if I turn a corner to fast or hit a good bump in the road but nothing to serious

I love your 19's too ....
19's prob wont even fit on a 1g . People have trouble with good size 17's! I had 17x8.5" on my 1g and had to use spacers. Plus 19's on a 1g would look stupid. 1g's have a smaller fender, so smaller wheels look better than larger. 17's is perfect on a 1g. 2G's on the other hand are big enough to fit 20's . But I think 19's just give off that sex look. Exotic. I would never put dubs on a DSM. Only tuner style. Like mine are JDM light weight racing wheels. The ride is awesome, but I also have built suspension.That 2g is so Baller! Those rims are fantastic with that color. I'm rolling 18's on my 1g and live in pot hole city. Ruff ride indeed, I couldn't imagine 19's. Unless I got them for a dirt cheap price.
Thanks man I was going for the HELLAFLUSH look but I need to get another set of tires that stretch even more and those are expensive tires so I will wait until I need another set before I attempt it again
But 19's look great on 2g IMO, almost any car will look good with the right stance 19's to me help make that happen and I dont plan on racing anywhere
