I have decided not to lower my sh, so i'm thinking 19's. Does any have 19's, and are they to big, or are they just fine?

 

I hope this is going to be a show car . Your car will be noticeably slower with them.

Too big for what? A decent, practical car....yes. A Chevy Avalanche....no.

 

or some dubs 22' no less

 

19 for show yes, to drive NO. The best biggest is 17 and best for better performance is 16 althought it will lack the show aspect of a 17. your luide will be a lot slower since it will have to deal with the weight of a huge 19 wheel

 

you can do them. if it's just for show, that's cool. I think his thoughts are to fill the wheel well without lowering the car.

one thing to point out, though...if you're planning on putting big-*** 19s on the car, be prepared for your speedometer to be WAYYYY off, unless you're running tires the thickness of a condom...

 

19" is not gonna fit fine. Cause' its gonna ruff the fender. Unless you get small tires. But thats gonna look like a MONSTER TRUCK

 

I had 17" chromies and evryone was telling how much power I was loosing though those things and when I swapped to the stockers, I gained like 5 miles to the gallon and spin in 2nd. But I think, lowered, you might fit 18's.

thats going to screw up the ATTS right??

 

wheels that heavy will be hell on your suspension.

 

Your car is going to look so F*cking gay. If you want big blingin rims go buy a escalade.

 

The 19's are by no means the smartest move for performance. If you are building a show car or just giving your everyday commuter a more sporty look then I say go for it.

 

Not only will they hurt performance, they will increase your maintence costs. Heavy wheels are known to tear up tie rod ends, suspension bushings, wheel bearings, not to mention the increadibly rough ride they'll give you. I can see putting 19's on for a show car, but you'll wish you had smaller wheels if you plan to drive it like that alot.

 

just.......wow, get some and post some pics

 

wow bunch of flamers in this thread

first of all big doesnt always mean heavy
second of all its your car if you want 19s expletive everybody else and get 19s

and third of all that red 5th gen looks hawt on the 19 te37s

 

i saw this 4th gen w/19's on autotrader the other day.



mAd tYte yO!

 

1.) If you want them get them but you will notice a power loss
2.) Huge rims look pretty shitty in my opinion but this is you car so screw what everyone else thinks if you like them
3.)Wow that autotrader car with huge rims looks disgusting

 

haha right now my car is WDP, oem c/f hood, flat black 16x7 slips, jdm badges, tinted windows and im soon to get a brand new paint job with a black roof, c/f trunked, c/f front lip, black housing headlights, exhaust, droped 1-2 inchs. after that im thinking about getting these wheels.

 

Who's ever prelude that is should be shot. Seriously. I should have them done in.

 

lol...how much slack would someone get if if they posted that in the picture thread and said it was theirs...lol.

 

There we go a picture of a buddie of mine with 19's on a 5th gen



car is not lowered and as you can see it has barely any wheel gap
