If you're gonna go with AME CX's, go with 19s since they're meant to be shown off. Don't settle with 18s.

I approve of the wheel selection, miles better than the wheels other people have been asking advice for in this section of the forum.

i would still give them a try. dropped they might look really good. 19 is better but you have 18' for 0$$ . just get some tires and worse comes to worse you can sell them to me

i vote no. 18s are too small especially for that rim
8 inches up too front is too conservative
10 in back depending on the offset might be too aggressive
plus i think, even tho they are expensive, they look cheap

dont get em

on 3g tl, you must go with 19s for the shallens. lips will make them smaller than what it is so 18s are no go

+1 on that ... you can almost make anything look good if you got the rite drop...

i remember ppl saying 17s were to small till stillhere153 rocked some 17s and they looked good .... you just need the rite drop

and hey they are free cant go wrong with that
