any one running 19+9.5 wheels on the rear ??

i been pondering of changing out my rims to some nice 19" wheels maybe ccw's or racing harts

is any one on the boards running 19+9.5 or 19+9.0 rear wheels ?

i plan on going 19+8.0 or 19+8.5 in the forn and the above for the rear

im looking for that mean agresive stance with deep exotic wheels in the back

thanks for you help

im curently running 18+8.0 on all 4 with a 45mm offset

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.

Solar, I think you car looks awesome just the way it is. No need to change a thing.

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?

LOL it was just a thought guys =>

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

did you have any more pics ? i was affraid they would stick out to much being that wide =<

myxal the car looks great !!! but the tires are super then also,, bu ti guess you can have both, have you bent a rim or anything hitting pot holes?

here in orlando the roads are terrible !




from this pic of my current set up i like the big deep dish wheels, i gues its something we really cant have on a AWD car

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.
