19 inch rims too big?
Just curious.. I don't plan on lowering the car after I install 19 inch wheels on this.. will this still scrape the fenders?

If you're going to do 19's, reference the chart for whichever width you plan on getting:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7535 Stock wheels are 7" +48, and there are numerous safe fitments on the chart to choose from. I use this site to calculate wheel movement changes: http://www.gtsparkplugs.com/WheelOffsetCalc.html Though I personally wouldn't install 19's on it. Prefer 17 on a car this small, as I feel anything larger (18 is negotiable) overpowers it and makes the wheels the focal point when rather they should compliment the car. |

I have the Rays gram light 57xtreme's in 19's and I like them. They are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. They weigh 21 and 22lbs so barely more then stock. I have built tons of cars and I can always tell a difference when going to a significantly heavier wheel. I don't feel any loss in power but I can obviously feel the difference in width.
