Photos of sedan with coupe 18's or 19's with stock suspension?

Hey ya folks. Looking to make a purchase shortly, but I cannot stand the non sport 17's that come with car, and Journey's are just so easy to find compared to an S model.

I've thought about putting on the coupe 19's, but how bad is the wheel gap on those? Does anyone have pics of these on stock suspension? OR even the coupe 18's on the sedan with stock suspension?

I found another thread back in 2011 with the same concept, however, most of those cars were lowered. Thanks for your help!

are you planning on getting AWD or non AWD?

without AWD, the gap shouldnt be too bad with the coupe 19's

Yeah I'm running the same. Looks fine to me to. That said, i think i might switch to swift springs next year, just for a little lower COG on the track.

Wow, doesn't look bad at all. I was afraid it would be pretty horrible, but I think that's the route I'm going to go.

The sedan sports are okay, but I think wheels make a huge difference. Now I just gotta cough up a painful $1500 for wheels....

PS, the average cost of 18" sedan sport wheels is $800 or so?

Here are a couple pics of my RWD S on OEM suspension, for comparison to the non-sport above.

^ hmm, for some reason that red sedan seems to have larger wheel gaps. Maybe the tires were undersized? Still, a very clean G.

Hey are those tires conti DWS?

If so, I'd like to chat. I'm considering getting those for a winter setup.
