ok, my friend has a 5th gen lude and is getting wheels/tires for it, he has about 2200-2500 to spend, he wants to get 18's, i think he should get 17's.. what do you guys think, i think the tires would be a lot better for 17's.

 

Tell your friend that 18's will look too big on the car, IMO.

nah... 18s would look hella tight,,, i wnat 19s myself

 

18&19s LOOK tight but dont PERFORM tight!!!!!!!!

 

LMAO, the only thing nice in that pic is the Falken title and logo.

 

Well, Arrgghhh Sam! I just like 17's! BTW, anyone selling any 16's?

 

I'd go with 18s.. 17s look kinda small on a lude.. 18s are like the perfect fit i think.. then you gotta drop it cause 18s with out a drop.. eeeewwwww.. i really don't like 17s on my car.. it's too small.. BTW.. lol that lude is kinda ricy.. it will look alot nicer without the body decal and altezzas.. but that's just my opinion.. JDM JDM JDM..

your post grosses me out, 18's might be better for a show car but who drives show cars??? that pic is more than "kinda ricey", it would need a lot more than changing the altezzas and decals to make it look halfway decent... and "JDM JDM JDM" is just gonna be another ricey trend if you keep chanting that

 

Totally agreed...yuck...Here's the best advise you'll ever get...18's are way to big. Not to mention expensive...17's are ok for daily driving...still expensive...How about save that 2200 but a set of light rims for race. Put the rest into other parts of the car Unless you like the whole show thing....

 

My 17" broze volk......



sorry its kindda bid...

mmm get those...get volks he's got the cash

 

I wish I got 16's for race use but 17s work fine for street and if you have a 1.5 drop.

 

How slow does your friend want to go? 18"s and up starts to put on more weight to an already heavy car. Go with it 18" if your friend is just getting them for looks.

 

yeah 17 is good for street...looks good and not too heavy...

 

my 17's

 

My 17's ---- volk GT-N's

 

I don't know. I've had 17 and now have RH CP8's in 18 and I think IMO 18 look better. Granted 17 are more practical

 

is that the OEM kit??? nice Lude

 

Thanks,

No, it's a mish mash kit. Greddy front lip, WW side skirts, Mugen replica rears

 

damn, that GReddy lip is ****** TIGHT!!! i might end up buying that

 

I have more pics of the car in the imagestation link in my sig

 

The only reason I went w/16's (besides weight.) is Azenis come in the perfect size..but only in 16" wheels.

215/45/16.

in 17 they jump up to a 225/50, i think.. to tall, and to wide of a tire for a lude.

I ride 17's during the week.. 16's @autox..

 

definity go with 17s for all around use...they look the best and dont murder performance...but 18's can look nice. also remeber that rubber costs wayyy more the higher you go
marsh

 

dude, that is exactly the same miss match of kits i was thinking of doing....damn you beat me to it. Your car looks SICK btw. Now i can't wait to finish it like that How does your exhaust look with the mugen replica bumper, it doesnt cover it right, it stops right next to it?

 

dam electron blue is the 2nd best 5th gen color, besides pearl, but the greddy lip is illin man,,,

anyways u dont want 18' s down the line man, is that important to look good?? i think 17's are clean!!!
