Can't imagine there are many, if any 19x7. The ratio is off. You'd have better luck and more to pick from if you went to 8" wide or at least 7.5" wide.

Need to give us a budget to start with. There are a lot to choose from.

$2000....$3000.....$4000.....??????

Good luck finding a 19 x 7

19 x 7.5 is more like and they fit fine. Is there a reason you wanted 19 x 7?

19x7.5's with a +45 offset should fit fine without any modification to the car. I have 19x8's with +40 offset and after trimming a little plastic and some small metal flanges inside the rear fenderwell, no more rubbing.

I didn't know a +45mm offset was available until AFTER I put them on Oh well, I'm eventually gonna get the 19x8" Ray's Versus Campionatio SS7's with a +48, They are 3 pounds lighter and have a thinner rim, so they will look bigger. I will get them real soon if it rubs after I drop it this weekend. I did see what pieces can rub, and they will all be trimmed and smoothed before I lower it. It looks really easy to tell the truth.

COMPTECH SPRINGS INSTALLED

I installed my Comptech springs today, piece-o-cake. Thanks to Shoofin' TL for the info in the FAQ section, and to Snook for creating this bad@ss site in the first place. There are a few differences between the TL and TL-S, but mainly just a bolt size here and there. I also recommend using a tie-rod/ball-joint separator on "step 13" of the front springs instead of beating on the ball-joint with a hammer. The whole thing, including checking rim clearance (see below) and the road test afterward took about two hours and fifteen minutes, and I didn't have access to a lift, but four high-quality jackstands are a VERY good idea.

And now for the part you've all been waiting for...NO RUBBING! I made sure first by reassembling the rear end without the shock or spring and putting a jack under the control arm and going all the way up until I was tucking the whole tire and about 1" of rim! I haven't had four fat friends get in it yet, but I'm VERY optimistic. All you need to do is cut some plastic as shown in the post below...
19x8's that don't rub...anymore

Maybe the TL-S is a little different than the older TL? Anyway, I hope this helps and have fun!

If you want to see some decent pics of my car, go to: JBrown's Webshots Album
Some of the pics are really hi-res so be patient if you click "view full size" and have 56k or slower.
