I'm picking up a set of BBS LM Reps in about a month or so, I was wondering what size i should get. considering i'm not doing a drop, i have the oem sport suspension. heres the deal, i'm leaning towards the 18 inch right now because I don't want the car to look like a 4x4 on 19's or will it not look like a hummer haha..give me some feedback. if you have pics of the LM reps on oem sport susp. post em up. thanks guys. 18 or 19?

I would say 18'...
actually I am running the 18' with OEM sport suspension,it's looks good,if u want see pic I can post here, but I am not BBS LM...
19' will be fun in my opinion but I think the gap between fender and wheel will look bigger then 18'...

Bryan is correct. If you're not going to lower it, don't go anything bigger than 18". Just looks silly, IMO. I just recently took my STaSIS coilovers off, and hadn't yet put the stock wheels on, and the 19"s just looked downright goofy!

do 19"s and fudge the gap with 40 series tire.
Or just do it right and drop it. Meet my current struggle show or go.......................

18s with sport suspension, i will be getting coilovers though. reason i went with 18s over 19s is i do a lot of driving on very poor roads. this was the best profile shot i had that shows wheel gap.

to tell you the truth, that doesnt even look bad at all with the oem sport suspension. they still look big. those are reps right? if so where did you get the red center caps? i found a site that has them but i'm not sure if theyd fit the reps. i found a place that has 70mm/64mm and the ring in the back. may have 4 or 5 prongs in the back not sure though
