do a search for "tire size", "offset", or "max tire" in the 2nd gen and 2nd gen archive sections and you should see it

13BAce has 18s on a vert, and I think they're a bit big on his, but not too bad looking, I dunno about 19s though.

Be sure to camber them a WHOLE lot for traction yo! <---joke in case you took my seriously

If he wants 19s, I doubt he gives a **** about weight, considering he most likely also wants a 500lb stereo system, 100lbs in dynamat, and who knows what else.

18's are nice for cruising but if your intending to race make sure to throw on your lighter smaller rims.

i have 16's on mine and it is dropped 1.5", i think it looks good, but 17 on the back and 16 on the front would look real nice to fill the fender gap,(higher tires won't cut it) but i don't know if that would ride properly

i think Soul Assassins 18" rear and 17" front is optimal. 17"s in the back seem a lil small, where-as they fit just nice on the front. i have 17"s all around, looking to trade the rear for some 18"s myself
