what size rims

Post by TA »

Hey guys,
so i got a quote from a tyre shop... a set of 19s by 8.5s, black deep dish rims for 1895, tyres fitted and all...

now im tossing up whether or not to purchase them, but what are the consequences?!?!
are they legal?!?!

my other plan is to just go back to the stock wheels of the fto, maybe paint a white wall round them?!

theres no way im sticking to the rims i have now?!

any suggestions....

cheeers :)

Do NOT go 19's.

How hard is your suspension now without massive ass wheels on there?

What size tyres u planning to get?

Regardless, I'd stay away from 19" unless you love the sound of your tyre's scrubbing against your wheel archs everytime you turn.

DO NOT GO 19's :!:
at the largest 18x7.5
there are plenty of threads on this
19 will cause rubbing, harsh ride, poor acceleration and decrease handling :roll:
