It would probably look great, but the 19\" rims will be HEAVY. Add HEAVY tires and that is a BIG BOO BOO, which means your ride will be like POO POO. Your transitional response may be great due to the low and stiff sidewall, but you will lose your fillings with every bump due to the lack of sidewall. Also, be prepared to replace many a bent rim. I don\'t suspect the stock suspension will not be able to handle the 19\"s. An aftermarket may help, but that\'s a pretty tall order. Finally, you will likely lose some acceleration.

FACK, I just realized you must be playin, cuz there ain\'t much upside.

Unless we be seein\' Bubba\'s car in Street Tuner magazine!!! DO IT!!!

[Whos ur dadd]

Now that I think about this more and more, I think this should be moved to a more appropriate forum.

Do we have a STOOPID QUESTIONS forum. :p

[Whos ur dadd]

Oh and move that post re holes in the exhaust there too. :p :p

[bubba1983]

since when was it a question...its simply a discussion thread...

[Whos ur dadd]

I was just playing. Hope you didn\'t take it seriously. You pansy.

eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat poooooooooo


so back on topic.....

brakes bro brakes!!! You need to upgrade your break system unless you wanna slowdown way early!!!!! like 2 itersections behind :P

Plus you have to adjust your speedo!!!



19\'s = (Pro\'s) Show,
If your driving really slow to show them off
Your PIMP\'n and the wheels are now considered DUBZ

(Cons) Slow performance thus Pick up speed reduced,
Bad fuel economy due to heavy rims
Potholes
Rough ride
Break pads will worn out quicker

I\'d say just stick to 17\'s or 18\'s
You will still get the above mentioned on 18\'s though It\'s really up to you

Pothole.....nuff said.

dum di dum dum...*BUMP*.........*POOF*

Just keep the overall tire diameter the same and you won\'t have the adjust the speedo. The rim size does not matter (within reasonable limits of course), but the bigger you go, the lower profile tire you\'ll have to get.

In psychology, it\'s called a \"compensating mechanism\". ;)

wow.. and for once it wasn\'t me ;) :p in all honesty tho, you did ask:
lemme hear all your rants

anyway, i think someone on another forum fit 19s in w/o having to roll the fenders, but i think it would be really close tho, especially if you lower the ride. but at stock height and with same overall diameter you should have no probs (unless you get a crazy wide ass tire)

actually here (http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72317) and here (http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=66915) he\'s running 225/35/19 and he\'s OK!

[chimp]

well 2 things come to mind... well actually 3 things. 1st 19\'s look really good. second my buddies matrix on 19\'s told me that b4 he could spin the rims right into 3rd now all he get\'s a chirp in to second, he said it really hurt the performance, but he still said he like the look though. third with the 19\'s you\'ll be rolling on 35 series tires. no matter how much u drive your only going to get like a single summer out of the tires. every set of tires is gonna set you back around a grand...if your not getting shitty tires.
i have 18\'s and they don\'t even look that large, 19s would look good but u really have to weigh the pro\'s and con\'s b4 buying...and one more thing if you get bored with rims easily u should consider the difficulty you will have to unload 19\'s compared to a 18 inch rim.
good luck

Nice pics... Now if only the cursed Toronto government would spend some of its $130million investment in TTC on fixing some of the potholes on the road downtown... :sarc

I can\'t remember who I heard it from but if you can show that a pot hole in GTA had damaged your rim, you can claim the cost of a new replacement rim from the government.

This is true but I\'ve heard some people have waited months just to process the claim.

Time for VOLK Racing CE28N (http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/datas2/VOLK/040_CE28N/01.jpg) then... Muahahahahaha :D

[MazdaTree]

I know that if you get 18\'s and dont lower you car looks somewhat jacked... what drop would be required with a 19\" rim?
