Hello all,

Can someone help me photochop these BMS GT-8 (19") onto my White sportback?

I have provided some pics to help. Thanks!

Here you go.... it looks good, nice wheels. Lowering is probably about 40mm but you get the idea.

edit: just noticed you wanted 19's - I did it with 18's but still a good idea of what you would be looking at.

Oh, I wonder what It will look like without lowering - I know I should though..

But I'm not too sure with the country highway thing whether its a good idea (might be too harsh)...

Yea, they do look nice and somewhat racey :)

Just not sure if I should go 19s or 18s. Think 19s would give me a harsher ride and I will be travelling quite a fair bit of country kms.. haha.

It's been imported especially for japanese cars so it comes in 18x7.5, 19x7.5 :)

I'd go 18's myself but even then it could be harsh - though possibly comparable if you're running VRX rims. You learn to avoid the potholes.

As for the lowering, depends a lot how much you lower and if you go coils or just springs.

19's would look pimp. the difference in ride quality is negligible..

I reckon 18s and lowering should be ok... cuz when I step up to 19s then the cost per tyre increases by about 30-50% :(

Well you're getting ripped off, in most cases they are they same price. Or for decent tyres it would only be a max of $20 - $30 per tyre.... So I'd rather get 19" rims.... 18" looks umm... standard? lol

Dunno about legalities, as each state is different. Supposedly 2" bigger in rolling diameter will throw out your speedo, and if your in an accident your insurance company will not pay out. Worth doina a bit of research with your insurance company to see if they will insure you with big wheels... But that is why I am currently using 18" rims, I sold my 19" ones :)
