Thanks

I looked at the 19" lmgt4's and passed due to weight, tire cost, looks, etc. I just think the 18's look better and will save me money of course.

I love the look of 19's but love the ride of my 18's... I'm looking for another set of 19's though. My Z is pretty low but my eibach's ride oh sooo nice.

Great, good, or weak.

Weak IMO....would have looked better with spacers

damn, crazy thread.

Anyways, I'm running my LMGT4s 18s 8.5/9.5 with 245/255 front and 245-275 rear. That's fine for my needs (drifting). I also have another set of 8.5s that I put 245s or 255s. I looking at the te37SLs and I'll probably run a 9.5/10 or 10.5. All my wheels are under 20lbs which is prefect for me.

My Z is not a DD and it's boost'd.
