Default Pic request -- 19 inch wheels WITHOUT drop

Hi guys. I want to put on a set of 19 inch forged wheels and I don't want to drop the car cause of NYC roads.

Any of you guys have pics of stock height car with 19 inchers?

The first few show the 'stock' 18" f-sport wheel compared to the Lexus 19" 10 spoke -Michelin Pilot Super Sport
(Front: 225/40ZR19 PILOT SUP SPT 93Y XL, Rear: 255/35ZR19 PILOT SUP SPT 96Y XL).
The rest are different angles for your viewing pleasure...

is your car dropped at all? the wheel gap in the rear (barely none) is significantly different than the front (at least 1.5 inch wheel gap).

if you didn't drop the car, what the heck did that to the wheel gap between your front and rears -- why is there such a dramatic difference? -- unless you put bricks in the trunk or something..

the PSS is a lot thicker than the stock tires despite the same sizing. They are more square of a sidewall, they dont look stretched. Stock tires suck

can compare further here, no drop, F Sport 18s, but I went 10mm wider than stock

No drop- the pic angle 'distorts' the gap somewhat - the tire size noted above adds 1" diameter over the stock 18" (tire approx. 25" stock - now 26")

The wheel gap in the rear is about 1", the front approx. 1.75".


No bricks...

True - but also the tire diameter goes from 25" (18") to 26" (19").

The Lexus f-sport wheels offset are 40mm, essentially adding that 10mm push to the outside.

Not my first choice - but they are hub centric - forged - staggered and "FIT" with no **BS**. Nothing rubs - no fender rolling... :-)
Lexus even offers lug nuts (f sport) that are different lengths for the front and rear, with the rotating seat so when u tighten, the base / seat of the lug nut rotates instead of gouging the wheel conical seat.

GOT A GREAT DEAL from a local dealer where these were a floor display - all four - out the door $1300. w/ the f sport lug nut(s) kit.
