would be the 19" wheels.

'97s did not have the strengthened suspension support pieces that would enable 18" (not to mention 19") to be mounted. That came later.

I don't see any upgraded suspension pieces in the package you are buying.

And the 19" wheels will destroy the sleeper aspect of the car. Maybe settle for some nice 17s both for the stealth and for the lesser load on the suspension attachments. Be a shame to tear up the car after you have such a sweet motor installed.

Also is the changed wheel diameter going to work with the speedo/odometer?
