both 22" and 24" will look good. If you want 24" wheels, I would highly suggest going with coilovers and high end wheels like those:


, so it won't look silly.

How are the streets in your hood? If there are a lot of potholes, 22s

Welcome to IS! How about this? 22"s MINIMUM and join the club.

^^+1 for go to 22's if there are lots of potholes.

While I LOVE Andy's car and wheels, I tend to think 24's in general look better on the 2nd Gen, just my opinion

So with that, I'd say 22's

 

[Slamming45]

22s are my flavor

Does that mean I am being kicked out???

I say 22's are perfect for a 1st gen and 24's are good for a 2nd gen.

personally id stick with 20. max 22. i like to have alittle meat for protection and absorption.

^ guys you will be surprised how comfortable Andy's ride is. I couldn't believe that we were riding on 24's when he gave me a ride recently, its how comfortable it was

I think it all depends on tire/wheel/suspension quality.

thank you guys...
andy's fx looks crazy with them 24s...
hey andy!...whats the size of those rims?did you change something in the suspension?

 

[Ed@TunerStore]

He has 24" iForged wheels with Kido coilovers

Andy has lipped 24's which look crazy sick but full faced 24's would look too big IMO

 

[Slamming45]

^+1 full face 22 or lipped 24 on the 1st gen. Your wheel choice absolutley depends on your suspension for looks and ride comfort. It's an investment well worth the final result.

I would add BBK if you do 24".It simply annoy me when i see masive wheels and very tiny brakes behind those large wheels.

If you have cash to blow...Go with High end 24" wheels, BBK and coils.
Budget.... 22" wheels, cross drilled/slotted brakes, lowering springs

Mine are 24" x 10", 2 piece forged with 3" lip, and it weights about 38 lb. I have Kido Coilovers 12K springs front and rear with the front spring preload at 5 mm. Honestly, I was all surprised how comfortable it rides. I hardly drive on bad road though. I do feel the pot holes if I drive in the City.

 

[bigzo]

Whats your offset Andy?
hey thank you all guys!

 

[la_fx35]

Ah, forgot about that one. The offset was +45. I have to use 25 mm spacer to the have the stance that I wanted
