Default Wheel question!

I've been searching all over for new rims. I've decided I'm going to get either 18's or 19's. I especially like the Konig Sideways but they come in either 18 x 7.5 or 19 x 8. Is the 19 x 8 too big? Will it rub at all? I would rather have the 19's if it will work. Some sites indicate that it will fit. Here is the wheel I'm talking about tho I haven't decided on these yet. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah 19s will fit just ask neon on 19s . Ive seen a few sxts and other neons runnin around on 19s and I think those sideways would look really nice on your ride. You may have to get some wheel spacers which arent much at all to avoid rubbing issues.

I wish they came in 19 x 7.5, I'd feel more confident. 8" width seems a little wide....but the site says it fits.

looks like im going to be looking at some rims...just a few minutes ago I'm driving in this storm and my car is doing fine. I hit the really icey intersection when I was pulling out of a parking lot. Maybe going about 10mph and the road looked a little slushy but nothing worse than what the rest were. Well I wasn't even on the gas and my car decided to get understeer and i kinda slammed into the curb cracking my rim and putting a bulge in my tire. yay! now I don't only need rear tires and need front tires with new rims! woohoo...no money to do that though lol.

I did that once. Isn't it amazing how much damage you can do when you're driving slow? They should just put sand alongside the road . . . you know . . . like in Gran Turismo . . .

I almost want to say you'll get some rubbing on a 8" tire. Neon perches and struts are kinda small...
