Re: 18s and 19 or 18 and 20s

if you are going staggered, stick with a 1" stagger. besides, 20's are really pushing is ona 3rd gen without taller rubber. even then its hard to make it look right.

thats kinda what i thought, the only reason i was thinkin about about th 20s is cuz theyre 10 wide instead of 9.5 like the 19s are

If you have to stagger, 18/19 but i'd stick 18 all around for more tire choices...19's are harder to come by in the wider sizes and are much more pricey
