19's on stock suspension or not
 

will it look stupid to have 19's on stock suspension? i'm concerned w/ rubbing. i want to get 245/35/19's on 19 x 8.5 rims w/ 35 offset. don't know if using H&R springs will make them rub or not.

also, for people w/ H&R springs...how's the ride quality from stock? in terms of smoothness, stiffness, etc. thanks.

That would look terrible. H&Rs shouldn't rub, although your wheel is very wide. talk to cobymoby and kloogy.

you would be a true 4x4

If you are gonna do something, might as well do it right...put some springs on as well. You don't want a monster truck.

NO, it will look killer. Dont listen to the haters, stock and 19s will give u a good ride. Its not like we are going to take our maxs to the track.

i'm still very new, i've had my 02 SE for only 2 weeks. looking at the car again, looks as i really need to drop the front of the car. has anyone put H&R springs ONLY on the front? will that work w/ 19x8.5 +35offset and 245/35/19's? any pics? still debating.

ok since u wanna get techincal. My 18x8s have a 39 or more offset and u can lower it pretty much as low as u like. But with a 19x8.5 it will basically already be .25" wider than my setup for either side and with a 35 offset it will mean that the wheels will stick out more than mine to the outer fenders. In other words, assuming ur wheels/tires fit, it will look much better/meaner than my set-up. My was recommended from tire-rack, they always are on the safer side. Now, if u lower that thing, it might create a rubbing problem but then again it might not, because ur set-up will be .25" plus 39-35=4mm, which equals a total of .35"?? closer to the fenders. It will look very good, because if u are in SoCal u can come to see my car and i really wish my wheels come out a tenny tiny bit more. But i cant complain. Just ask the guys who install the wheels or springs to tell u if they rub or not. But since i dont care much about lowering, the 245/35/19s will look nice even with stock suspension, but it wont have a stuffed or slammed look most think its good.

Go with the H&R springs and your 245/35/19's and you will have no rubbing.
