19" rims on a 2002 S

I am looking to put 19" rims on a 2002 S, Want to know if that is to big of a jump in size and make it look funny.

How much does ride comfort decrease with 19's? That doesn't leave much sidewall to absorb shock.

I have h@r springs, but I had them with the 17's and I could not tell a huge difference with the bigger wheels.

Welcome DMAN2002,

I like the look of 19's. I'm sure others will disagree with the proportions.

All will agree you should post some pictures of your car. We would love to see it.

I prefer the look of 19s also. I stepped up from 18s and noticed very little difference in ride quality.

The GIAC tuning by itself isn't that noticeable. Nor is the intake. Together along with freer flowing exhaust is quite noticeable. The headers really wake it up.
