do any of you have 19" rims on your honda ??? if so any problems and last but no least what size tire are you using .... example 215/35R19 or something else please let me know about to go check some out at 9pm and very interested thanks bro's

 

19s are too big for the civic IMO. The max I would go is 18s but I prefer 17s on the civic.

 

I use to have 19"s and NEVER again. Yeah they looked kinda good but rode like ***! They were loud, bent easily, blew tires. Yeah no more, now I am 17" and LOVE it.

 

19"s are good with no drop. they fill the gap nicely.

bending rims and blowing tires has more to do with how you drive than what you drive.

 

go with 16"

What he said!

From a performance aspect you want the smallest wheel you can run that will clear the brake caliper. I am upgrading to a wilwood caliper so I'll be sticking with 17".

A lot of people think they are improving their performance by getting a bigger wheel. Even if it is lighter you are increasing the overall diameter of the wheel tire combo and the heaviest part of that combo is the tire. The further you push this weight away from the center of it's axis the more performance takes a hit. Braking distances increase, acceleration decreases, increased unsprung weight puts additional stress on the suspension, the list goes on.

If all you care about is the look of your vehicle and the bling bling then by all means go with what you like.

I don't even like 19's on a G35 or a 350Z. I warned my brother in law not to get the factory 19's on his G but he didn't listen, now it's time to get tires and his performance tire choices are a tiny fraction of what would be available if he had gone with the 18's. Not only that the cost is way less too.

 

my friend has 19's on his Si. see the very first page of the picture thread up top.

he's running 225/35/19. dropped 1.5 all around. hasnt had any rubbing problems

 

Ehhh 19's?

What are the specs on the wheels, look like 19x7.5-8. Offset looks like stock 45+.
