21's on a coupe anyone?

I'm debating on wheels for my car and I'm dabbling with the idea of 21's. Does anyone have them or have pictures?

Here's some googled pics, IMO they're too big for a G and the tires will be crazy expensive compared to 20s but if you like them.........

at 19inches its still a bit bumpy, and expensive to get road rash/ expensive to replace tires, why not spend the money on something a little more practical for the car? like…a supercharger?

I wouldnt do it. Mostly for the cost of tires, its just not worth it. I prefer 19's. But do whatever you want, especially if money isnt an issue

Yeah 21's are too big IMO. And you'd have to run very low profile tires.

Plus the extra unsprung weight will not only slow you down, but will diminish your handling/breaking distance.

Go with a ultra light set of 19s & do a nice drop.
I had 20s what a nightmare on curb rash/pothole damage.
Never again.

This times a thousand, what's the point of lowering the performance of your car? Not worth it. Get light 19s, wrap them in PSS tires, and call it a day.

Unsprung weight wouldn't be an issue. Quality wheels usually solves that problem. Not like I'm tracking the car with 21's, but I understand your concerns if I was.

This also isn't my first rodeo, I was mainly asking if anyone had first hand experience with tire sizes, offsets and ride height. I have seen them on a 911 which I think is comparable but it would have been nice to see what a 37 looked like.
