Hi,

19's are not recommended for your Model Year, nor are they a very good compromise to anything but aesthetics.

You'll increase Unsprung Weight, Tires are more costly, the ride will be Bone-Jarring, twitchy steering.

18's offer the best compromises. Performance and Ride do not suffer and they fill out the Wheel Wells nicely. My recommendation: Go for 18's instead.

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99 (w/ 18" Turbo II Wheels)
