.....that you guys have on your solaras. They look so great. I'm deciding what I want in the next month though. I want to get larger wheels to make the car look a little more flashy/customized/DIFFERENT than just a stock car. 18"s and 19"s look promising. 20"s look great but I couldn't do that. I definitley CANNOT lower the car though ( at least for a while since the car has less than 1k miles) which is what's bugging me. Now..

Does anyone have pictures of their solaras with 18"s or 19"s to help me decide? The picture of Micheal's with the 20"s had me come to the conclusion that even with 20 inch wheels the gap isn't bad at all. Thanks guys in advance..

Blazed04 has a really nice set of 20's on his. I think his is the same color as yours too. I know you said you wanted pics of 18's and 19's but that's just another car with 20's to help you decide.

Yo,

I hope you get bigger size tires then I did, I had 225/40/18R!

I would recommend 225/45/18R tire size. The diameter is only .5 percent different then stock.

Use this...

each company's tire is a different size than another.

it may be the same size for that rim, but the foot print of each tire is different.

for ie-

a yokohama avs sport tire p225/40/18 will have a narrower footprint than a bridgestone pole position s-03's p225/40/18.

i would be able to fit a brand's p225 in, while another i can squeeze a p235 in.

sort of irrelevant, but i would think this comes in handy.
