19's is really pushing it with a lowered car, i would rub if I took a turn to hard with 17''. Less tire is going to be able to fit on a 19 so ur goign to be more prone to flats or worse, bending the rim on a bad pothole.

i wouldnt go with more than an 18". I *almost* wish i would have gone with 17's. be sure to get a really low pro tire if you go with anything wider than than a +35 offset as well.

I agree anything bigger that 17" is pushing and a few of things happen two are metioned above and the third is that tires get way to expensive.  William |

17" is the best. It gives you the larger custom look without all the problems. When you go low profile the tires tend to blow and go flat pretty regular. William |

i know I will be going with 17" but that's cause I'm not going to get a body kit. if you get a kit get 18" if not stick with 17". while 19" will work they look dumb as hell unless you do a lot of custom work to lower your car on top of them.

hmmm...I think my car looks far from "dumb as hell". I have 19x8 up front and 19x9 in rears. And I only have a 1.8inch lowering springs and nothing rubs...

I have 18s and never had a flat and i run low pros. I love the look of an 18. Im really glad i dont have 17s. My car is only lowered an inch and a quarter so an 18 takes care of that wheel gap a bit more
