Default Gen III Rim/Tire Size Recommendations

Hey, I am finally going to take the plunge and upgrade rims/tires.

First the tire: After researching options I most likely will go with the Michelin PS2's since I am street only.

As for rims, I am looking at rims that save on weight. Currently looking at
SSR Type C-RS... Here's my main question:

I like the way the SRT sits stock (19's in back, 18's in front). I was told that I might not like the way the car sits if I switch to 18's all the around...

Looking for rim size and tire size recommendations from those who have completed the modification and pictures if possible.

Thanks,

Mark

I have the SSRs on my '04. Great mod that drops unsprung weight considerably and gives a noticeable boost to performance. However, if you go this route you will definitely want to lower the car. The wheel-well gaps at stock height are huge and look terrible. Once lowered, the car looks nasty as hell on these wheels. Someone has pics up, but I forget which thread. Do a search and you should find it.

Nasty as in aggressive. Definitely a good look.
