Yea it's possible, but I don't know why anyone would do it. There was a guy around here that was sportin' 19" Konig wheels on his 5th gen lude.

I had a set of racing hart c 2 rims and widest you can go is 19 by 8 inches and you have to have the correct offset.

Mine were 19 by 7.5 inches and offset was 48++ and yes they slow down your car big time..

I have a set of mugen MF 10s in 17 inches.. BIG DIFFERENCE.

That's because you were using 225s. I run 215/45/17s and I have no rubbing, only under extreme load at the track, do I run out of rear travel and rub all around.

19 inch wheels on a car that makes, maybe, 145 ft/lbs is going to ruin your acceleration, and having to run ruber bands for tires, will loosen your fillings and eventually end up bending a suspension piece or wheel.
