im thinking about 19s for my 99G and i was just wondering if anyone has had any problems with rubbing or anything.
If you stay with 7 or 7.5 inch wide wheels and a minimum offset of +38mm, you will be fine. Just note that you will have a VERY LOW PROFILE on the tires and are very susceptible to denting them. I know I have bent rim lips all over the place, LOL.

do you have it lowered? if so, how much?
No it's not lowered but have lots of room to do so. But the fact that the profile is so low on 225/35x19, there's no getting away from damaging wheels with bad road conditions. Any bump that's 1.5 inches or more and you're risking damage. Don't get me wrong, I love the performance but had I know how low a profile it would have been, I would have gone with 18's. Of course it's a personal choice and it depends on your local road conditions.

I am very happy with my 19s. I had 18s before these and they were fine too. The ride got a little harsher with the 19s because of the reduced sidewall. I haven't bent a wheel yet (thank god), so it depends on where you live and how you drive.

geez people....you are asking for problems. You can go 17x8 and be fine. 18x7 would do ok too. I prefer 17x7-8 because my car is my daily. If it was only for show i'd go 18's but 19's are too big for me. I don't want people to just look at my wheels. Plus i don't cruise so i need something i can turn with and with 18 or 19's i'd be afraid of rubbing. I also like a good ride thats not harsh. try 17x8 with spokes that go to the edge. They'll look like 18's but ride like 17's.
