Wheels on B5 S4 - 18" or 19"?

[Jester B]

It may be getting close to time to getting new wheels (summer) for my S4. I was initially thinking of 18", but there's a lot of nice 19's out there. I am NOT going to drop the stance at all.

What are people running? Thoughts?

dont buy wheels unless you drop it....
wheel gap looks 10x worse when its on nice wheels.

Everyone says on a B7 that without a drop that 19 looks goofy. I'm going to stick with 18s, but not sure if wheel gap is much different on a B5. I think a general rule of thumb is that the wheel gap is <= sidewall aspect.

If you are not going to do a drop then you may want to get beefy tires to help fill in the space. Stretch and no drop is not good at all.

I agree, if you're not lowering it you'd better get some bigger tires so it doesn't look AS bad and stick with 18's...19's would look HORRIBLE with no drop

yea jeff my 19s look freaking awesome with my drop now

18s you could get away with.. 19s would look bad

there are a few threads on AZ/AW with stock suspension and 18s
