hmm dont think you want too...
run staggered rims unless of course your fwd. Didnt look but i know someone a while ago ruined there tranny this way as the wheels were staggered and created problems with different ratios i believe. Might want to search but again only if your awd.

I think 19's look stupid on this car.
Wheels that large will also kill your 0-60 and mileage. If you just want looks then go for it. Just make sure you keep all the wheels rotating at the same speed. 'Course since you have a 92, the extra heat and and stress generated could lead to tranny death at 50k if not sooner.

19's are just plain too big...draws too much attention from the rest of the car. why not just get deeper wider 18's?

running stageered should not affect the drive line in any way long as they are the same diameter , skylines, porche and a few other AWD cars run staggered wheels i think im going to hold off =>

I like them too. I like the way your car looks, but I still feel they are too big.

I think the tires are just too small on 19" wheels... Hell I even think my wheels (18"x7.5") are too big... I am more of a 17" wheel guy

No bent rims! Car still drives and ride fine. I actually like the ride of stock tires on 16" rims better however the look of the 19's have me sold.
BTW: The pics of the gray and white SVXs with the wheels are hot. More pics of the white SVX if you have any. I am still checking out the gray SVX. Nice pics, great looking car.
