Default 18"s or 19"s

Guys

I'm currently running the 18 Rays Track Wheels and was trying to decide if I should get the 19" rays G35 wheels. How much worse will the ride be? If the car is a daily driver is the significently more chance of damaging a 19" wheel than an 18" wheel?

Also another possibility could be the G35 18" wheels but I believe these are not staggerd (18x8 all around I think). How would these worl with our 245/18 & 225/18 tires.

Thanks

the 19" G35 sports wheels are staggered. It will fit your car just fine and it will look great. Ride will be a bit rougher but it's not bad.

You have to go 19 inch wheels at least.

Personally I don’t like the ride you get on 19” wheels, and I think the added weight hurts performance (especially acceleration from a standstill launch); but I think they (19’s) do look better.

They are the right size (wheels and tires).

Thanks - I'm not fond of the 19"s (except the G35 coupes). I'd probably stick with 18" though which I'm not sure.
