19's

[bmoregtz]

hey im thinkin about puttin 19's on my car. does anyone have 19's on theirs? would it be bad to put 19's on?

There's a few member with 19's on here. The first to come to mind is cali. They gotta be thin to fit into the wheel well.

I had 19's on my 8g they are axis sevens 19x8.They will fit and they look awesome but you will have to roll your rear fenders or you will rub big time.Hope this helps you out.

19x7.5 +45mm offset 225/35zr19 will fit w/ no fender roll and 3" drop.

I wish i would have known that earlier.Mine was 19x8 with 235/35/19 toyo tires.I had to roll the fenders with this set up.It looked really nice but I lost horsepower because of the rims and tires being so big and heavy.The 4g64 didn't like it.

Thats one way to look at it. I see it as, "shit Im still slow [albeit slower than before], but atleast i can grip the road a lot better". Kinda why I gave up on anymore performance mods for my car, and instead focused on its handling.

I just got a set of the Foose Speedster 5 wheels in a 19x7.5 with 45 offset. they fit perfect, no rubbing at all. But i haven't dropped it yet. i have 225-35-19 toyo tires.

i got 19s i love them but i hate that they weigh so much i am looking into getting some trak lite 19 inch rims.. my car is slow to i have a 2000 i4 es..i ordered my carbon fiber evo hood and i got an intake, headers need to be installed and i just ordered my injen universal muffler with silencer.. all i need is to get those rims and my car will be so much lighter and a little faster.. i could only hope right https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

i dont kno your financial situation...but tires 4 19s are very expensive (been lookin myself) due to the rare size...u can even get 20's cheaper..but they will look hot if u do get em...good luck

19's are very expensive for my rims and tires I paid 2500 for the set.I don't think you would be any better off getting the lite 19's it isn't really the weight off the rim but the weight of the tires.With my axis sevens and toyo tires they are 10 pounds heavier than the factory set up on each rim,so thats an extra 40 pounds of rotating mass.Your best bet would be get 17's or even 18's but the 19's are very heavy unless you have the v6 or turboed 4cyl it isn't worth it.trust me.

On the contrary, my Forged Centerline 19" wheels w/ 225/35/19 Yokohama Prada Spec2 are much lighter than my stock 16" alloys w/ bald 205/55/16 Kumho Ecsta Supra 712. you have to remember with low profile tires, you're losing a lot of side wall (then again, 18 lbs forged wheels help a lot too, LOL).
