All to often, we see posts from owners who take their wheels to other installers only to have them damaged. Just a thought. I live in an are with quite a lot of potholes. BUT I have been able to run 19" tires without issue. Obviously 18" tires will have a wider sidewall and be lighter. BUT, 19s will look so much better.
Thanks for the link. And yea I have been playing around with the idea of 19 vs 18 and I tend to lean toward being conservative/reliable for things like this. My last car has 17s so this is a step up for me lol. Maybe once I get my feet wet ill look at more expensive or larger wheels, but for now I think i'm leaning 18.
