Where are some good places online to buy rims and tires? I want 19"s, what tire size should I get to keep my care from looking to raised, also what is with the offset rim dimensions? I have a 2000 GLE, will the 19"s make the ride a lot less cushioned or what will it do to it? Thanks for the help. Chase
By the way, I live in the DC area, if anyone knows any good performance shops around there please let me know.

What do you mean by "mess with it" I lowered it yeah did I have to? No, but i can't fathum puting wheels on a car and not lowering it. I'm working on a pic for someone else to we got a new scanner and i havn't figured it out yet as soon as i get it scanned i'll send it to you too send me an email as a reminder. Personally having seen 19"s and 18" on a max I think the 18"s look tiny the 19"s fill the fender better and provide more stability along with better turning. If I where to do anything differtly I would get 245-40 instead of the 245-35 but im not unhappy. I'm very satisfied. Personally If I where you i'd get 19"s and the new cattmans as they have unlimited adjustment. You said you live in washington you may be better off geting the 18's with the 40 seiers as I know how bad the dc area roads are.
