Now that is something rational to do

Konig Next in Bronze. Now all I need is for someone to pipe in and say, "Oh those wheels?! I've got a set right here!" Ha, I'll keep dreaming...

Nice 84 GT btw..
I had some 19x7.5s on my car for a while
Centerline RPMs with 225-35-19s and my car
had our drop springs in it.
Offset was like 43mm I think.
You can probably run 8s but look for a higher offeset like
45 or 48mm if you can find it.
I may have some Ace Alloy 19" on hand if you are interested.
Personally I dont like 19s, they are not pot hole friendly at
all.

I agree with dayle.... 19's are too big and bumps would be brutal. Even on 18's with stock springs the ride is significantly harsher.

i have 19x 8 or 8.5 i cant remember. the tires are 215\35\19 i think.(tiny), but theres more than enough room for them in the wheel well and under the shock. even more than stock i wanna say. '

as for the ride, ive had 18's with too small tires, 18's with too big tires. and 18
with 225/40/18 perfect size. and my 19's

the best traction was the small 18's i think they were 215/35/18 but extra sticky. once they got warmed up i could hear pebbles hit my wheel well.

and the best ride was the 225/40/18s. was 1000 times "grippy-er" than stock but still had alot better ride than the 19,s

but my cars not lowered like dayles. the 19's would probably get pretty annoying.

oh yah whos driveway is that dayle. i know it aint yours. "pretty though"

HA HA i know where you live, suka.

i might have to sell my car soon. maby without the rims. if so ill let you guys know, id love to see them go on another svx. they look like they were made for it.
