You could get wheel rub on either the arches or the struts. So offsets would have to be spot on.

Plus I think ride could be a little harsh.

I guess it depends what you want from your car. For shows, and a bit of cruising around and looking good, then 19\'s should work. Just be sure you get the offsets right.

If you care more about going fast, I think current advice (picked up by lurking Yankee forums) is to go no bigger than 17 or 18.

Also depends if you lower your car, I guess.

If you go for 19s, I would recommend you have the front arches rolled. Big alloys tend to pull the lip of the arch out otherwise.

Depends on where you take it. Different body shops charge different amounts.
