broke Donating Members 229 Member For: 13y 4m 25d Gender: Male Posted 05/04/12 03:33 AM Share Posted 05/04/12 03:33 AM hey guys, im thinking of put some new shoes on the car now that ive had all the fluids and servicing done. im keen to go 19" as I dont want to sacrifice too much ride quality for sake of big wheels and lowing etc.will it look dumb and 4wd like if I was to put 19s on and leave the suspension as stock? or is the suspension similar in ride height to the FPV range?cheersMichael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it may look "better" if you lower the car a little more, but its not 100% necessary. Every now and again I see a GT or an F6 at stock height with the factory rims and they look really good!

Im real close to pulling the trigger on a set of 19x8.5 wheels. Basically what I need to know is what size tyres are ok to wrap them in? Im thinking 245/35/19? These numbers mean little to me that's all...Cheers Edited 12/04/12 11:45 AM by broke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its no wonder every second person drives a 4WD.As already stated the FPVs that came out with 19s didn't look bad, so go for it mate.What wheels are you thinking of getting?
