Default 19s on a 5th gen???

Anyone try or know if 19's will fit on a 5th gen? I have coilovers on it now. I'm looking at:
19x8 wheel with 235/35R19 tires

WHY ?????????????

Besides, you wont be able to drop that much with a 19x8 wheel.
You will look like a 4x4.
This will slow you down.
This will look retarted, both car and driver.

Retarted idea ..........

+ Decrease Gas Milage
+ Cause Incorrect MPH

Plus, I also,don't think it would look good, but that's personal opinion. And I also think it's way to big for a Prelude.. But uh, ok.. Enjoy

gas mileage and incorrect mph arent concerns for me... the car gets less than 900 miles a year


im rolling 18's now and they dont look huge (in my opinion). with the coils all the way down im very low. i dont see how 1" (really 1/2) bigger will look like a 4x4
