I've heard of 18's rubbing, so 19's is pretty risky. I don't recall anyone running 19's, but hey, give it a shot if you want to risk it. Use this to get a tire size close to the stock size. you should have a sticker on the door jam of your car to tell you the correct size, if not, ask. I know my '99 Sport is 205/60R15 and SVT are usually 215/50R16. Your probably safer going with 18's. Thats my input.

I would highly recommend the following: > 225/35-19 - the 215s just don't provide enough width. Given how thin the tires are, a wider tire for rim protection IMHO is a must. > Roll the fenders. Depending on your drop, a must or you will damage up your tires, bad. > Camber kit - or you will get very bad uneven tire wear (ask Antonio) > IMHO, unless you have another car to use as a daily driver, 19s are too big - you will bend rims (ask Antonio) Cons: > Tire selection in 19s is very limited in comparison to 17s or even 18s > Tire prices are ridiculous in that size > The bigger you go, the more performance you lose HTH Capitol CEG Classifieds Make an offer! 2005 GTO IBM - 337hp/336tq
