All valid points!

The V3s have progressive springs though...right?

Are you running stock shocks with your H

The only benefit to 19s is the looks. If you like the thicker tire look of the 18s, then they should be the obvious winner.

Some 18'' F14 pictures. I really like the idea of 18x9 with 245 up front and 18x10 with 275 on the rear (18x10 is narrowest 18'' with deep concave face). In my opinion, the beauty of these wheels is in their 18'' version. If going 19s in this style, I'd just do ZCP wheels with a front 10mm spacer.

I'm really liking these.

Well I have already ordered the tires. It is gonna be 19" and clearly textured gunmetal.

I should have the rims by the time I return from abroad.

I do like the look of the 18" but this time it will be 19"
