Thanks for the pictures guys. Can you still fly around corners even though the sidewalls are that small? I'd be afraid of rolling off and having the edge of my rims scrape the ground.

I can take the corners better than ever. Suspension is what matters and good tires. Only minor prob is ground clearance on large dips...you get that with any upgrade though. you could always get a 40 series tire with your 19"s.
The incorrect mounting I refer to is the pics ive seen with the kit poping off the edge of the body. Meaning not tightly mounted. Is that clear?

I been meaning to ask you for the longest time..... How big of a Hit did you take on the 19s and the tires on your Car? I love them. Just dont know if I could put them on in my car being here in Washington DC and Baltimore. Roads suck here.

What are the exact sizes of the tires and rim?

Yeah I understand what you're saying. "Do you understand the words that are comin' out of my mouth!?!" hehe. So use 40 series with 245 width? as in 245/40/19?

Also, how can one find out the weights of different rims? I like the Milia Migillia (sp?) Evo's. In either 18" or 19". Thanks

You got it. The 40 series is just a suggestion if you'd prefer to feel more safe and cousey. It will fit. You could do a 245-40-19 Gonna be a big sidewall or a 235-40-19 that would give a slightly lower sidewall. On a 19 I woun't dare go thiner than a 235. It's up to you and what your looking for. The 40 series will also make the 19 appear larger.

As far as the finding weights you can contact the wheel distirbuter and they can give it to you. The milia migillia is gonna be pretty heavy from what ive heard and also in bad wheather they don't stand up well and have tendicies to bend.

I was hit like a sledge hammer! Let's say this, the wheel cost 699.00 a wheel and the tires were 289.00 and I have 5 wheels and tires. I'll let you do the math. Jayson I am running 235/35 Continental Sport Contacts. This is the only pic that I have of the whole car. I'll take more pics when I post pics of my CL.

I am curious why you are running 235/35s? I mean at that tire size you speedo is 1.47% faster, if you rasn 245/45s you would only be like 0.41% faster. Plus with a 19x8.5", the 245s would have fit nicer too.

Just wondering.....

Idea

How does this sound?

Putting 18" wheels on the rear, and 17" in the same style on the front? Sure, it makes rotating a problem, but other than that, is it a bad idea?
