Could I get some opinions on these rim/tire combos? My main concerns are if I would have rubbing issues, if the tires would look stretched, and if they would stick out past the fender. Also, I can't decide between the 18" or 19". I like the look of the 19", but I'm worried it will crack/bend on Oklahoma's mediocre roads. Is there significantly more risk of damage between the 18" and 19"?
I have a '03 3.0i with the sport/perf package and factory suspension. Using

Thanks!
