I need pics of 19" on FD

Hi there !!!

I need some pics of 19" wheels on a FD and some tire size...
Can I put on the size 225/35-19 on the car without problems...
How big wheels can you put on the FD without modyfing the car...
I think I have seen pics of 19" on a FD and it looks very cool...

I have no clue what size tire he's running, but there was a thread about it a few days ago. Search under 'Mille Miglia' since that's the type of rims he had and it was mentioned a few times in that thread.

19"x8.5" front with 245/35/19
19"x9.5" rear with 275/30/19

Gotta roll your front fender lips in.
Thats about it.. You'll rub your
inner wheel lining once in a while,
other than that no problems...

19" suv wheels? try 22" or bigger are suv wheels, at least where i come from. if a suv has 19's he would get laughed at. anyway, on a fd 18's are good enough and 19's are perfect as long as they are nice rims.

From a performance perspective, 19 is a bad choice for the FD. Too much rotational inertia, and not enough sidewall to stick to a less than very smooth surface. Plus, the risk of wheel damage from bumps is much higher. But I realize that appearance is the driving factor for many buyers, and I respect their right to put whatever they want on their cars. If you are seeking performance, though, get 17s or at most 18s.
