I had 19's on my 2004. Low profile Nitto Extremes. They looked good in my opinion, but with the low profile....if you hit even a small sized rock...goodbye to your rims...I had a few "gouges" in one of mine just from rocks on the road...not even considering the pot holes...

No offense man, but 19's on a IX (especially thin spoke'd ones like those) look awful. They may not look bad on a X, but going larger than 18's on a IX is an aesthetic no, no. Remember, its a rally car, not an Escalade.

I would have to agree. Just need a set of 22 with da spinners and you'd be set.

mine are 18 x 10, +25 and Nitto 555 (265/35). If the NT05 are anything like the 555 they will run wide.

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on DPT's in 18x9.5 +22's also. I have NT05's for the summer and I love them. That's probably what I'll get again in 265 once I wear those out. Best bang for the buck. I'll just be on Swifts. If I can find some Advan RZ or RS in the next couple of weeks I'll get those instead though...

I was originally going to do TE37's or Ce28n's but i just don't have that kind of money and if i did i would spend it on performance rather than buying $3000 or more for those rims. So im going to get with the Rotas now, and I'm not sure why but the TE37 look has grown less on me and the Ce28n look I'm liking more now. I should have the Dpt's ordered in a month or two along with the tires and springs. As soon as all this crap sells on ebay!!
