I borrowed a photo posted by @Lotus64 and modified it to show what the car would look like with different diameter wheels.

According to some other threads, 18" wheels will not fit on the rear due to the design of the parking brake.

And of course, different wheels are different, this is just a photographic demo, I'm not saying all wheels of these sizes will fit on the car! And while shrinking the wheel image I was also shrinking the brake image, so in reality the smaller wheels would have less space between the brake and the inside of the wheel.

Possible tire sizes might be 235/45-18F, 235/40-19F, 275/35-19R, 285/35-19R, those are all pretty close to the oem tire diameter.

Here's the source of the photo. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/osmium-silver-lotus-emira-photo-thread.3837/page-6#post-147119

As an officially old dude, who is not from "the old school," but rather from "the school they tore down to build the old school," I like the looks of the 18F/19R the best.

Not that anyone cares, but I did a spreadsheet showing possible tires sizes for 18" and 19" wheels.

These are sizes calculated from the tire size, in actuality different brands and models will vary somewhat from these theoretical sizes.
