Im glad i went with 18's. You also wont have to worry about bending rims as much as you would with 19's or 20's. Heres mine on 18's and lowered:

Yeah good call. i wish i would have gone with coilovers before my wheels because a nice drop looks better one stockies rather than no drop with wheels. Im on tein basic coilovers. Love the ride and the price was pretty good to. i think i got them for 700 or a little less shipped

Why would you not do 19s again? Too much work ie. fender roll etc? Poor handling? ...

thanks!

Im maxed out on tein basics, so around a 2.75 inch drop i think. and i did have to roll my rears because of the wheels lower offset

Actually I change my mind, I'd do 19s again on the TL lol..

But the body of the TL sits very very high so I wanted to do 18s to have the body seem lower to the floor.. Josiel, you can stretch tires on your 19s, add camber and you can slam your car to the floor to the point that its undrivable, take it from experience lol:
