Why bother? If it's still a non-turbo, a set of 16s or 17's will be all you'd ever want (and for the love of god don't even dare go throwing on some random 50lb stupid *** rims)

how about this flamers...
With enough money enything would fit but 19s are gonna need some serious work. You'll prolly have to cut the body up and have no suspension. 19s look big on full size sedans and will be gimungus compared to the RX. since all you have is a stock gxl, im guess you dont have the ability to donate all the time and money that will go into the project. I assume this but I know it may not be true. Anyways, 19s are too big for just swap and go. Certainly not with rb lowering springs. What is your plan, do you just want bigger wheels or are you trying to acheive something other than braggin rights? Once you've got that it may be easier to go from there.

actually 19's will fit on with no modification. i had a friend who put 19" racing harts S15's on his car and they only rubbed up front on hard turns, and they made the car extremly slow but they fit nonetheless. also the car will look like a monster truck

i just want to know why all this crap is posted. The guy asked a question, and as wayward you think it is, can't he just ask a question? He didn't ask how you think it would look. He just asked a technical question. Why is that a crime. Some people aren't like you guys. Some people, believe it or not, have different feelings about the way they mod their cars. Why do you have to be like this?

I wish I was driving!
215/35R19 for the front and 245/30R19 will keep the stock tire diameter and keep the speedometer and ABS working accurately.
With the correct offset, the rims will fit just fine, even with RB springs.
What rims are you wishing to run?

19's will certrainly fit, but not with your stock suspension. The front springs will hit the front rims. 19's also fill up the wheel wells nice. Here's a picture of my 7 with 19''x8'' ADR Fuel Rims with 215 35 ZR19 Nitto Neo Gen tires (the tire shop got a workout trying to put the wheels and tires together, LOL) and TEIN HR Coilovers...

16s are all you ll ever need, i beat on my car daily, i prefer to have 16s so theres more tire and less rim, less weight. As far as width goes 7 are no problem and 8s will fit easy in back and a tight squeeze up fron unless you have coilovers, i have 225s all around and the fronts are about 3mm away from rubbing they also fit nice to the outer fender.
