TLS moving to 19" wheels, ride difference?
Couldn't do a search on 19, so I hope everyone doesn't mind this question. Was wondering what the ride difference is like moving from the stock TLS wheels to 19x8 rims with 235/35? I think I found a set that I really like, but I'm not sure what to expect when they're on. The offset's right (+50) so hopefully no rubbing. But can anyone tell me what differences they noticed, if any, when they moved up to 19"s?

rotational inertia! woOt what do i win for saying it.
I heard 16's or 17's were optimum for most cars, shorting braking distances, balanced with decent acceleration. Mid of the road no trade-off's kinda wheel.

it going to depend on the roads your drive on, i guess be ready to be worried everytime you hit a bump, those reflectors on the middle of the road, get ready to really hate those, steering on some uneven roads is going to be tough as the car will take a mind of its own, road noise it mostly depends on the roads you drive on...hope this helps...

I shoot people
you didn't mention anything about lowering it... I have that same sit up 19" 235/35/19 with 50mm offset. But YOU HAVE TO LOWER IT... AND yes, it will stiffen up even more.... so make sure that's what you want... (I also have a TL-S)
