I prefer 17s over 18s. Tires are cheaper and 18s don't look right on our cars imo. Weld rts are bad *** looking as u can tell thats what I run. I would say 17s and lower it but that's me. Alot of people run the 15" rear and 17" front which looks good.

car itself looks sick that blue is raw, go for the 17s alot easier to find and it doesnt look to bad as far as it does with the 18s and 19s, im on 17' eagle 5 spokes i picked up for about 600 and i just cleaned them up with some chrome cleaner and through some nitto 315 555rs on them and they look great
