stevet Member 85 Member For: 16y 7m 13d Posted 05/05/09 07:00 AM Share Posted 05/05/09 07:00 AM Hey guys im about to put some 19" Avanti Gauntlets on my 04 XR6T in vibe with silver BF GT Stripes. Cosmetically I think it'll set the car right off with the dark purple of the car and black on the wheels, with silver accents on both car and wheels. But im just wondering how bad the ride is gonna be going to a 235/35 R19 any comments or experiences anyone might have had doing this??Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevet Member 85 Member For: 16y 7m 13d Posted 05/05/09 11:46 PM Author Share Posted 05/05/09 11:46 PM Yeah I think I'll just suffer the compromised ride for the look of them. Will it look like it needs lowering? To put in perspective will it sit the same as a BA/BF GT-P on factory 19"s or do they have lower springs factory??

stevet Member 85 Member For: 16y 7m 13d Posted 06/05/09 01:45 AM Author Share Posted 06/05/09 01:45 AM Thanks Ghia. Those 19"s look ideal to me. Sits just right without being too low for everyday driving, nothing worse than hearing the car scrape as you go over up a driveway or curb! Will post pics once the wheels are sorted.........
