Question....

I'm sure this has been asked before, but... i couldn't find it.

My question is... will my car sit higher if i change to 19 inch wheels??
I'm current dropped on old comptech springs. I think comptechs are ideal for my driving style and for looks. I would hate for the car to look like truck.

Your response would be appreciated.

nope, all that matters is the radius from hub to ground...

well, on 19s the car would sit 1 inch higher since the radius is one inch longer. so yes, it will sit higher unless you get lower profile tires, but i dont think you'll notice too much.

Even with lower profile tires, and an overall diameter that my be exactly the same as stock, the car will sit a little higher just do to the fact that the tires dont compress as much. The difference is definitely noticeable.
