19's are a little big in my mind. I'd be scared about potholes and stuff like that. Dont wanna dent your rims.

cause you'll have a ton of wheel gap. Sure bigger rims get rid of some of it...but 19's are gonna put you high off the ground and the gap will look hideous. Atleast put on the eibach prokit....but imo w/ 19"s the wheel gap on even those will look a lil out of place.

you want something big and flashy. people will look and say hey check out those 19"s...but look at that mean fuckin wheel gap that dudes got

eibach prokit = 229$ plus install

eibach sportline = 200$ plus install

i've got a buddy who works out of his house out here that can install them for about 80$ if you want.

your expensive trip is gonna be the rims...19"S aren't cheap....you'll be spending around 3K w/ tires if you buy cheap ones

i would start off by lowering your car first...then getting wheels....springs anywhere from 200-600 depends what you get go to carparts.com just to browse. As for the wheels go with what you want you could get a package of 4 wheels, tires and balanced for about 1000, i would suggest spending 1500-1700 for nice quality hot wheels, and if you into racing then get nitto or yoko tires, but then again you are getting 19's so i take it you aren;t INTO racing that MUCH.

take it easy,

So what is a total price?

How long would it take, and how is my hadeling would it be better, or I will still need sway bars?

I am getting 4 19th with nitto tires, for $24000 dollars.

In case anyone cares I have pictures on my FAQ.

Also, Someone tried 20" rims and said there's no way it'll work.

You can fit 20s, the person that tried just had too low of an offset on his 20s b/c they were off an explorer.

I say you just get 19s and definitely drop the car. You shouldn't rub with 235/35s, but you need an offset close to 50, I wouldn't go with an offset lower than 48.

And if you plan on wasting money on the suspension anyways, just go with coilovers so that you can get the exact drop/look that you want. If you're not going to lower the car, I wouldn't get 19s, or any other aftermarket wheels for that matter, but that's just me.
