cease4 -> Are 19" Rims too big?? (6/4/2007 8:45:40 PM)

Im planning on getting some rims for my 99 cobra and the smallest size for the rims that i wanted are 19 x 8.5 (front) and 19 x 9.5 (rear) would these be 2 big for my car?? I am also planning on lowering it about 1.5 inch all around....i had 18's in mind but this is the smallest they have...what do u guys think???

Dude the 19 s  will look nice, especially when you are gonna lower it. I would definetly go with the 19s. good luck

yeah, i was thinking the same question ... I just lowered my 01 cobra, but i'm not too satisfied with the drop -- i want more -- i was thinking the 19's might make it look a bit lower. But will they rub, with a H&R Sports on IRS?

A 19 x 8.5 and 9.5 will fit fine

Given the same overall diameter of tire and vehicle ride height, the 19" wheel will make the wheel well gap look larger than a 18".

There is a lot of wheel well gap on these cars so I don't think a 19" will rub.

I have an 02 GT lowered 1.5" with 20x8.5 and i have no rub,  my tires are falken 255/35/20, ill add a pic. so i have to say go for the 19's.

Colin, I just orderd my 19x8.5 and 19x9.5....without the tires, and I have an 07 GT. Im ghonna soon be ordering my tires,so what sizes would you recommend? I would preffer the maximum sidewall and a tire that would help in protecting my rim lip, becuase I've notice on some wheels you can see the rim sticking out pass the tires. Which makes it dangerous parking along a curb. Help me please......

They will look good but these wont be good at all for the drag strip. I have 18's and they are quite heavy compared to the stock 17s. Tires arent cheap either for a bigger rim.
It all depends on if looks are more important then performance.

I love my 19's 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the back.
