Anyone running 19x11" wheels???

[Shirl]

I'm looking into 18's for the front and 19's for the rear. Is 19x11 too wide for the rear?? (the biggest wheel I've had back there is a 10" Weld draglite and that was close, so I'm not sure)... Thanks for any help!!

i know you can fit a 18X11 and people throwing 20s on but dang i dont know what will happen if you hit a good bump

Hmmm, yeah, that's something to consider... I found the wheels I like in 19x9.5 (for the rear) so I'm thinking that should work out fine. I'll have to look into it a little further... How will the ride be affected though? Will I notice a big difference with the lower profile tires?

those will be some seriously low profile tires, I run 18x10.5 all around with no probs, even lowered. Im sure your car is too. You might have to put some larger bumpstops on just to not risk the chance of bottoming out your wheel well.

i think the ride wont be too good at all IMO

bigger bumpstops will help just incase ;)

Nikon, your car looks beautiful... my car is not lowered, which is why I was/am considering the 19x9.5 for the rears. I do have ground effects though.. how much is your car lowered?

BTW, thanks for the help guys!

hey shirl, I highly reccomend checking out cz28.com and getting some opinoins on sizes there. I think people have run as high as like 20X10s up front, and bigger in the rear.


Not a crack on this board, just the v8 guys generally have more money then us v6ers and spent more money on wheels/tires, and know what sizes/offsets, and what modifications are needed to fit.

Just a suggestion, because nothing looks worse then a car with aftermarket wheels that don't fit right.

the eibach pro-kit cant remember exactly I think its a 1.5,1.6 dont hold me too it though. wasnt too drastic, just enough to f-up my ride quality. I agree with mustang though they do usually spend more money, check em out ;)

Nikon, did you get a good deal on your wheels? I can get 18x9.5's for $899. But if I go 18x9.5 up front and 19x9.5 for the rears it'll be around $1300 something..

I'd try and stick with same size all around, but its just me, I wear my tires pretty bad, for different aspects of driving, and need to rotate them or I woudl be replacing tires all the time.

Yeah, I thought about that too... but I don't drive the car very much.. only to cruise nights/shows/track and sometimes weekends..

I drive mine daily, autocross, drag race, and do everything on pretty much the same set of tires [img]smile.gif[/img]

autocross is what kills them though.

I have different sizes front and back, daily driven and everything, and dont have any troubles with them wearing too bad. Got like 20k on this set of tires with plenty of life left. So dont count out the staggered look because it's pretty slick looking.

I'm sure it'd be possible to put Wheels that big in the back with some modification. Probably going to need to hammer your wheel well a lot to get the clearance.

I'm sure you've seen TrilogyZ28's car before, but he has 20x10 iForged Aero's in the rear.

Although it seems like his websites doesnt have as many cool pictures as it used to.

[Shirl]

What staggered sizes are you running? 17's and 18's?
