the main difference between 17 and 19 besides the size is that 19x8 come with a 2.5 inch lip and 17x7 come with a 2 inch lip

if you buy that and get 17s it will look really small cuz of the lip so i suggest nuttin lower than 18s. i think even if u do get 19s u can still get a drop on it i think some people on this board have already. IMO if u dead set on getting those wheels than i would go wit 18s and a sportline drop

My 19's are 7.5 wide and I have it lowered 1.75 with zero problems at all... Just because a wheel is bigger doesnt mean you cant lower it - the overall wheel and tire diameter will remain the same...

Mine dont tuck but the tops are even with the fenderwells - front and back. If I went any lower they would tuck...

I ordered from wheelmax.com - Terrible customer service / Awesome prices. Took three weeks from when I ordered for the wheels/tires to arrive and I had no problems with them except for trying to call and let them tell me when I would get my rims... They showed up perfect and exactly what I ordered (have heard horror stories describing the opposite however). But for $1100 shipped with 19" Giovannas with tires I am happy

My friend called for directions because he wanted to pick up his set of rims instead of getting them shipped (even though it was free) And they were really rude and said to just order it online and hung up.

Good prices though.

If you go any smaller they will look like the stock wheels that come on the 99....
