Default Tein S-Tech with 19s????

Gonna get a Super White tC in a few weeks and planning on dropping after breaking it in and getting it all settled. I live in CO and we have a dips and steep roads. So, I am thinking that the 19s might be too much, so I would have to go with 18s. Is the 19s too much for drivability? And wouldn't want any rubbing going on. Or perhaps, I can get 19s with the H-Techs? Don't know much about them...

S-techs lower the car quite a bit. You should probably go with 18's.

Sorry, I am very picky about this, I can't afford to make a costly mistake. But, yea, I was thinking 19s are a little too big, but my friend has the SAME rim and they are 18s, so thought it would be cool to have a size bigger than his, it could work, but it would be tough. A minor mistake can be rough. I am pretty sure I will be going with the 18s, dunno what tires yet tho. My friend has the Toyo T1-R tires, so thinking Toyo Proxy 4 for this one. What you think on the tires? Want it to be extreme performance.

Hmm, could be. What would you recommend? I think the offset is 35, so as far as I know, it's ???/35/18 or ???/35/19.

personally id do 225/40/18 or in your case of your 19s 225/40/19.. im stuck between 225 or 235.. one of the major reasons why i havent bought wheels and tires yet.

I think the rim offset is 35, so it can't be 40, unless it doesn't matter.

Its gonna depend on offset and width of rim...

Honestly go with the 18's with a slightly bigger tire that way you still have ride comfort.

BTW im rolling on 18x8.5 with a 35 offset... no rubbing

^^^ hey did you roll your fenders or something? Because I have 19's on s-Techs and they rub when I hit dips, or make a sharp turn.
