I dunno, I've just been searching everywhere and I've seen some big price differences. One site had the sideways in 19's for $294 and another had them for $260 then another had them for $200. The package price is generally the same on the sites tho, about $1500 for the package.

Thats it? No more advice? Come on Nate, I know you have some input lol
Sorry about that Star.....

For my 19's to fit I did have to go with an aftermarket suspension...

We did do some grinding on the fender lip with some heat and rolling....

My first set were Racing Hart 19x7.5's and they fit perfectly... Since those are gone, I hae aquired TSW 19x8's, now I have to do a little more rolling of the fenders to fit nicely.. I should be doing this over the weekend I hope..
This is the rear tire to fender with no adjustments to the suspenions..

Here you can see that I can't even fit my pointer finger between the tire and the fender well.

i think 19's would work if you get a really skinny tire. my 18's are on 215/35. i think that the tires for the 19's will cost more than the rims and your first pothole will wreck your bank also. just my opinion though.

me again. didnt know if i came across a bit negative. if i did, sorry. everyones car is what they make it. if you have the money to invest in a 19 inch setup, im sure that your car will definately turn a few heads.

Not negative at all, just honest. I appreciate honesty You're right about the potholes, that is a huge concern for me. Right now our roads have so many potholes you have to maneuver around all of them. I don't have the resources to invest in the whole set up for 19's right now if its gonna require some mods and I need the rims pretty soon.
