Does anyone have pictures of s15's with 19" wheels?

I've been running my car on 16"s then upped to 17"s, and am now tempted by some 19"s but don't know if they will just look silly big on an s15. If anyone has any pics of their car or other peoples cars on 19" wheels i would appreciate it.

Thanks.

18 front and 19 rear are best combo if you have a body kit. If stock body then will work with spats and aero spoiler but without these 19's are too much. And unless wide arch then 19's on the front look silly.

As above 18 front 19rear is perfect. I have 19's for mine but haven't fitted them yet ( weren't available in 18 at the time or would have double staggered them) only image I have is without tyres so doesn't really help much

It's stock body currently, I have a set of rear spats on the side waiting and as soon as i get myself some side skirts they will be sent to the bodyshop and fitted.

18's front and 19's rear sounds like a good idea.

Will see if any one else pops in with some pictures of 19's fitted with tyres.

I'm sure someone will be running this set up. I would fit the tyres and get them on there for you to see but they won't fit under standard arches ( offset and size is set for my 50mm wider quarters)
Have you looked through the wheel figment thread as I'm sure a couple of guys posted pics with 19's there

Just found this image




Considering my car is still stock body, and i'm not running it very low, higher than the one in the picture probably, i don't think 19's are the way to go for me.

If it was kitted and lowered more it could pull it off, but just to be safe i think i will just look for 18's.

Slammed and kitted, completely works.

I would have to crawl around everywhere at no more than 30mph if I was driving that around the roads near me, would take a lot of the fun out of it.

I know what you are saying man ha ha saying that my car is pretty low as it is and I still have loads of fun in it . Just finding that right balance I guess and getting the right fitment on the wheels so you don't have rubbing issues .

Looks-wise the arch & wheel diameter should complement eachother, the white one in that photo is too low with that kit & wheels....or it needs to be raised up with bigger wheels imo. 18" is the best look with the aero kit to me.

I was running mine at a height where I was happy with it aesthetically but I found it too low to live with as a car for driving so have gone to Nismo s-tune.

Got any more photos of the car with the 18" r34 wheels in your signature ?

19"x8.5"

235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear. Lowered about half and inch at the rear. Front is standard height I think.

Heaps :)

It took me a long time to find wheels that I liked and these particular 19" ones suit the car very well IMHO.

Sorry about the flare in the second pic.
