Default Does anyone have 19 in rims on

How is the ride as far as comfort. Do they rub with original suspension or do I need to change suspension

Clearance can depend on the width and offset. Tire size, I'd recommend a 245/40-19. The 225/40-19 would yield too short of a sidewall. I know the factory f-sport is 225/45-18, but that's undersized when compared to the base. Matching overall diameters, a 235/45-18 is as close as you can get to the base 215/55-17. Personally, I went with a 245/45-18 on 18 X 8 wheels. I wanted a little more width and cushion. I run on stock suspension with zero clearance issues. The added width looks so much better and truly does wonders for grip.

Use this site. Put original info in left side and change rim/tire in right to see effects.
