19'' rims? downsides? problems?

[mspeed3420]

Hey im looking into 19'' rims and Im wondering if people are having any problems with it. I would still like to get new 18s but 19s would look sicker. I would like to get a 19 if I can but if there are too many problems or risks I would definately stick to the stock size.

no risks. Just take into account the larger diameter wheel means you cant have your car dropped and have alot of rubber on the wheels too, or else you will rub like nobody's business. You will have to raise your BC's up a 'lil to fit a nice tire on there. Also, 19 inch will generally weigh more than a comparable 18inch.

Well you would loose some performance with the bigger wheels. If your new 19" wheels weight as much as the stockers it is the equivalent as putting 125 lbs more weight on your car.

I'm actually contemplating going down to 17's for weight and comfort reasons.
