19" rims

[ducksp]

I was just wondering if anyone is rollin on 19's. What's the ride like and is there any problems related with that big of a wheel on our cars?

You can fit 19's if it's 8.5" wide or less. It'll be a rough ride though, 'cause you'll be riding on rubber bands. I think an 18 looks big enough, but you can definately do 19's. Even 20's, if you want to do some suspension modification. I've even seen someone tuckin 22's, but that's a lot of work. :)

19's can be a real pain in teh ass.

Its hard to find ones that are the right width to fit on our cars. And if u getones that are wider, u have to use fender flares, Then u gotta pay to get the flares molded in.


The way i figure it, the wheels i jus got i paid $1300 for, to get them in 19's with tires it would have been around 1800 or 1900

Plus all teh extra cost involved with flares.


So IMO it wasn't worth all the hassle for another inch of wheel


Go with 18's and save urself a buncha money

I figured the ride wasn't going to be very good. I want to get 18's but I'm having trouble finding a good looking five spoke. They're either only made as 19's or they won't bolt up. I was looking at a set of Ro_Ja formula 1's but they only make them in 19 and 20". Not to mention the bolt pattern. <_<

A nice set of 5 star rims ar eagle 077 i got em and so does naich and we both love them. i suggest getting these as they suit the car nicely.

Buy the Italia rims for sale in the Bazaar right now, they'd look bas ass on your car.

20's on an Alero? :eek:

19's fit nice with eibachs (cut) and without flares. I have fender flares, but thats because I like the look and wanted to be different. You don't need fender flares for them. As far as the ride is concerned the 19's ride just as good as 18's. There really is not a noticeable difference. I've had both on my car so I've had personal experience with them. The 114.3 bolt pattern works you just need to be careful tightening the lugs. They will need to come in .7mm so just keep going in a star pattern till the wheel meets flush with the rotor. If your going to shell out the cash for wheels get what you want. I love my 19's so I'm a little biased on the opinion.

i stand corrected



and also

Dammit american girl, where were you 3 days ago.

U are the only alero around with 19's and everyone i talked to told me that u had to use spacers and had to have fender flares.

If i'd have known that they would bolt right up, i would have gotten the 19's i really wanted.

But its cool, theres always next year, for this year i love my new QT 18's

Thanks guys for all the help. 19's will work on the stock suspension, right? If I'm wrong someone please correct me. Now, does anyone know were I can find prices for the Ro_Ja rims. Can't seem to find any place that deals with them online.

If you are getting 19's, you better lower your car, at least with Eibach's (least amount of drop). If you don't the narrower sidewall on the tires will make the gap between the tire and fender well look even bigger. If you spend $$$ on 19's with tires, spend another 200 or so and get some lower springs.
