Default Wheels and Springs, quick request...

Hey guys. First of all, the search button isn't working, and I have searched for several days trying to find what I'm looking for but haven't found it yet. So, I amstarting a new thread requesting some info.

After much debate in my mind of what size wheels to go with, I have finally settled on the fact that I would love some 19's. 20's are a bit too big for my taste (most of them, at least) and 18's just look too small on these cars. Unfortunately there's not a huge market for 19's. I am asking anybody who has 19's to please post a couple pics (specifically a side shot) of their car. If you don't mind, please state the name of the wheels and tires, sizes, and the kind of springs you have if you have a drop. Iwould also like to know the lowest you can go with a drop with 19's. I've been lookinginto some super sport H&R's, which states a lowering of 1.7F and 1.9R.I would also appreciate any directions to another thread where this has been discussed before if it has. I just haven't been able to find any info on here. Thanks in advance!

I havent researched 19's (since I put 20's on mine) but I also took into account the availability of rubber also. I fits a huge pain to find new tires once you toss on 19's that is a huge deal....I tossed and turned over 18's or 20's for months before I finally made the decision, and I still toss and turn wondering if I made the right one, but I do know that you can fit just about any wheel you want on there even with a 1 - 1.5 inch drop. I put Steeda's on mine and lowered it around the 1 inch mark and I still have room to spare even with the 20's on there...granted that I am running low profile tires....

The eibach sportlines drop the cars about 2 inchs and people have done that with 20s. You'll be fine using any springs with 19s. I wanted to get 19s when I was looking at rims, but there weren't enough good 19s out there, and like stated above tires are hard to find and when you do find them they are a lot more expensive. For those reason you might not have any responses from members with 19s, I never did when I was asking about the same stuff because their aren't many.

Thanks for the input so far guys. I would still love to hear from those who have 19's, if there is anyone. While I'm at it, let me go ahead and ask for some pics (or links to other threads) to see some 20's with a low drop, like sportlines or H&R super sports.I's also be interested to see 20's with the prokit too.Thanks.
