I would say 19's for sure, I have 18's on my car and they look way too small, as well as not filling the wheel arches enoigh IMO my brakes make them look WAY too small :P

Couple of pics before it went down a couple of inches



Not the best pic, but i feel it needs 19's to fill the arch a bit more

the reason im asking this is my mate told me to go 18's, coz im having a baby and he thinks the 19's will ride hard. If i went 18's i think i will have to get them where the spokes go right to the edge so look a bit bigger.

I didn't notice any difference going from 18's to 19's.

ok ok, you twisted my arm. lol

here is my car on 18's

These pics are of my car the day or a few days prior to the springs settling, so the height looks a little high. It has since dropped another 5-10mm more.

I have Eibach 'superlow' equivalent springs, and the ride quality is very comfortable.

Here's a couple :
Starcorp whatever ? 19's

Speedy Cheetahs 19's now on DaveTE T3.

ROHModenas 19's

Genesis 19's

19's later bought by Bucknaked

Stalkers

TAK Legends 19's

Current 20's Vanquish


There are some more but maybe later The XR8 was my previous love.
By the way forget 18's, 19's are the balance for AU's at the least with 9.5" rears 8.5" fronts.

Blueoval nice car, but what Vanquish are the last ones? The CSA/Mullins Vanquish is a mesh style wheel...? Another brand?

I went from 19's to 17's then to 18's then back to 19's all on 245's. The only real difference that I found was that the car "feels" to corner flatter and the steering "feels" more direct. The only negative on the larger rims is that I poop when ever I hit a pot hole, is tense until I stop and check the rims for dents. I have reasonably hard settings on my shocks( is mainly setup for track work) so cant really coment on that aspect, but the less side wall the harder the ride would be I guess.
