Default Give up 18" for 19"?

Hi guys,

Will there be any notice (from the look) if I upgrade from 18" to 19" rims? Also are the tyres for 19" popular?

The noticeable difference in size between some 18s and 19s I think depends on the style of the rim. In some angles, my rims look like their 18s. 19" tires will be much more limited than 18s. RA, what rims did you have in mind?

most of the best tires have 19 inch sizes, although there isn't a very wide range of widths.

Believe it or not, one of the rims on my list is RacingHart C5 <chuckle>, 19x8.5 f, 19x9.5 rear. Another one is Blitz 03.

haha the C5 is a nice wheel.. one more inch would make it even better, if you get that setup i would recomend Yokohama AVS Sport 235front (might be 245) and 275 rear

I would recommend you to get some 19x9.5 C5s in the rear........ and leave the front alone.
