Exclamation Need some advise, buying wheels soon

Hey all, just joined the forum. I'm going to be buying some ron jon legends for my '06 TL in the next couple of days and still have some questions on size of the wheel and the tire.

I really think 19's look much better than the 18's, but I'm concerned with the ride of the 19's. I don't want to compromise on how smooth my TL rides.

Is there that big of a noise and "bumpy ride feel" diference between the 18's and 19's?

What kind of tires shuold I put on? I was looking at nittos, but have heard some mixed things about those.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.


Thanks so much for any help!!!

The car will perform best with 17" wheels that maintain the proper offset.

Larger diameter wheels generally increase wheel inertia and compromise ride quality due to the shorter tire sidewall.

They also greatly increase the likelihood of bending a wheel.
