19” a good idea ? I’m already having a hard enough time with 18”
So guys I’m thinking of getting 19” for the summer BUT I’m worried that the horrible roads here, would make it more problematic for me. Is there less rubber on the stock 19”s meaning is sidewall thinner ?
Stock 18’ are 235 50 18, what are the stock 19s?
Maybe i I should just stick to 18s what you guys think
Stick with the 18's. I've seen the roads in Ukraine and they're a lot like what we have in the Northern US. I'm replacing a tire tomorrow on my LS460 with 19" wheels from a pothole. Low profile tires and bad roads are not a good mix.

Thanks thats what I thought, I guess I’ll go with 18” in a rim design that I like.
Yeah, I'd stick with 18s too. People try to run 20s on city streets around here, and they get lots of flats. Worse than that, they get bent/cracked rims, which gets expensive in a hurry.

yeah sucks guess not much choice for me guess I’ll try to find these used. I don’t like the look of the stock ones I have now
I was going to get these 18s, but a set of 19 five spokes finally showed up for sale. Much better handling with 19s. Regained comfort over bumps changing out original struts with kyb gas ajust struts.
might be time to change your struts.

i have air suspension and it is working fine at the moment, I don’t think you understand how bad the roads here are is nothing like too have ever seen anywhere lol I’ve been all over Asia and North America and I’ve see nothing like it 😂😂😂 air suspension is better comfort wise here.
What is “kyb gas ajust struts” ? Is that standard non air or are we talking something else

Doesn't matter what size rim or tire you have, if you hit a pothole the wrong way or go over train tracks the wrong way, it's done for your tires/rims. I've had probably every size from 18-22's same outcome. Maybe i just suck at avoiding things.
I stuck with 245/45/19s. I didn't want the bulky look with 255/45/19. There are a fair share of potholes in the Northeast. I'm good at dodging them and the city is good at filling the bad ones quickly.
If you do 19s I'd suggest filling your tire pressure to near 38/40 psi to prevent bent rims if pot holes are bad in your area

do you have stock 19’s? So 255 45 19 will work? Someone mentioned that size before...I assume i cannot do 245 50 19 or 250 50 19 lol are there even such sizes ..or how big can I go tire wise on 19’s
