Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires 19" Question here.........

Do I definately need Coliovers for 19"??
The wheels I'm getting are 19x7, and I'm sticking with a 225/35/19 tire... I'm not sure if it would be a problem.. I looks like there is enought room.
I'm running 18" with 225's right now with no problem. I even had the lip cared for a little bit just to be on the safe side... Please respond soon.. I'm getting wheels the beginning of this week.... Also in your opinion, what would be a good tire to get? I don't race much.. Just cruise around here in Cali. Although I love the twisties in the Canyons... I'm looking for a tire that has good performance, good wear, and hopefully quiet.
Thanks in advance,
Marc

I've got 19x8 rims. The only reason I got GC is because it looks so damn good...had H&Rs before with my 19s and never rubbed at all...even when I cruised on the interstate at 85, going over humps and bumps.
You could even run 19s with stock suspension, only if you like the 4x4 look.
Another thing I'm getting ready to do is take out my front wheel well liner if I can. That is the only place I rub when I hit bumps on the highway.
If you are looking to have one dope azz CSVT, get the GC/Koni with your 19s.
I've been told that 225/35 Parada Spec 2 are pretty sticky. Someone is running them with 19x8 Axis NE-Os. I have 215/35 Pirelli Super Sport which wear really well and stick ok.

Thanks for the info..
Much appreciated.........

Bernie Williamson, check your PMs for the love of god or maybe empty them?
