I wanted to start a poll to get any ideas out there but i couldn't figure out how to do one. So here it is simply: I'm stuck between 18s and 20s......I have been told that 18s are enough for a 2 door sport and 20s will rub at full turn.....any suggestions on which way i should go?

also any pics you have would be appreciated.
 


















I would say 18's. The rubbing has to do with the offset mostly. I just think that 20's are too big. I would go with 18's and lower it 2 inches.

BTW, you got a good shot of your tails? Where did you get them?
 






IMO 20 inches is the only way to go, especially if you're not going to drop it...I have 20's on my 98 Eddie Bauer 4x4, and haven't had any problems with rubbing if thats what youre worried about...
 






EBX... how does that 20% tint match? I want to match my fronts with my backs but I want it to be a PERFECT match. When I get it done I'm gonna tell the guy that too. If he says he can do it and it doesnt come out perfect, I'll tear them off, hand them to him and say, have a nice day.
 






The 20% matches my rear tint perfectly-I just bought the stuff at Pep Boys and did it myself (which is not recommended if you can find a local shop to do it for you-here in central PA, that's tough to do...)
 






Ride quality is a big factor as well........which would provide the better quality?
 












Aldive, are you planning to get a set of wheels? I think yours would look nice with a set of 17's on it.

I am considering 17s, yes.
