okay i know the 18s" should fit perfect; just the matter of taste, i like to put some 19s" on to see how they run.

WHEEL 19x7.5 with 48mm offset. (So, i think this is pretty good 19 here, because the width and offset are rather good)

Tires : should i go with 235/35/19 or 215/35/19?

My ride is lowed 1.8 all around. Yes, i will absolutely row the fenders.



Please throw me any comment/advice/suggestion/ that can help this newmod goes as good as it can. Thousand THANKX

Stick with 225 tires and you should be solid with the fender roll. Tire size and offset are more critical than 18 vs 19.

1.8 all around must be sprint springs huh.

You may be able to get away with it, but it will go down to the nitty gritty. Depending on what brand tire you use, and what not. You just may make it, make sure you go with a 225 though, not a 235. You should be fine. I've reaqd on here about people saying things can't happen, but I've done things myself to make it happen. Hell, there is a guy in here running a 245 on his RX-8 rims, you can make anything happen.

I'm lowered on S-Techs too on 19x7.5 +45 offset on 235/35/19 Nittos. Fenders are rolled, and no rubbing ever, even with three people in the back and the rear tires tucked. Go 235, it makes the car look so much more aggressive with that wide stance.

don't ask me why your 6 looks a lot lower then mine. I dont know if your is a 6, but I am disappointed with the drop on minewith s-techs. I was expecting a lower drop with more agressive rake. But it's the other way around

It all depends, cause my ground effects add to it too. Right now on the stock 17's, my front bumper sits 3" above the ground On the 19's about 4". The 06-07 bumpers seems to be a little higher, but that can easily change by adding a lip kit. Believe me, the eye is deceiving wiht things like that.

Thanks to all fella I have the Ksport package installed, the car is 2&half" off ground in the front with stock wheel/tire. 225 is the safest bet but ...6ix has 235 with no problem. damn~~~~ 235...225...235...225..eerrrr Time to flip a quarter in air -i guess

Nope, I just got them powdercoated, and I just purchased some 235/35/19 Falken FK-452's today. You'll be fine with a fender roll man. lol. I promise.
