Will it look good or a bit excessive

I recently bought a pandem v3 widebody kit and I plan on buying forgestar f14 sdcs. Problem is, I won't be running air suspension so I will need a taller ride height since I'll be using coilovers. I'm thinking i want to buy 19 inch wheels but I'm not sure if itll look excessive. I've seen people do it on the v1 and it looks good but the v3 looks like it sits best when low. Should I buy 18s and sit high and have some gap between the wheel and fenders or close it up with a 19 inch wheel? Any pics would help me make this decision.

You've also got to consider tire profile. In my opinion, 18s with a fat/meaty profile look the best.

If all you care about is appearance, definatly go with something different and wild like 19s.

Daily driver or show car? Do you plan to get air suspension in the future? Depends on your goals for the car. Also consider the tires sizes. Go big or go home with the 19s lol good luck

It is a daily. I ended up buying forgestar m14 10x18 -21/11x18 -35. I do plan on running air suspension one day but in the mean time, I'm am settling for the megan racing rs series coil overs. It will be somewhat of a daily. I am buying another car soon and this car will mainly be driven to shows or when I just feel like driving it. Thick tires is a good look and is the one I'll be using... for now . Sorry for the late response. Didn't get an email notification that someone replied to the thread.

Just an update. The widebody is a week out from delivery. I tried doing a test fit but my wheel studs were too short. The wheels look sick if I do say so myself. This is what the progress looks like so far. My gf and I have a trip to Disney and we will be cutting when we get back for the widebody. A lot of pictures to come.
