im after some towards the end of the year BUT ive already decided on a rim...

but i do have a few questions
did you get pulled over all the time for having 19's?
whats the ride like with low *** profile tyres?
did the wheels / tyres rub on anything?
did you're insurance have a fit over the size or did they just make sure the rims were 8" wide?

if you could help that'd be great

Hi. I never got pulled over while having the 19's on. The ride was ok, but I did make every effort possible to avoid even the smallest of potholes. The wheels and tyres didn't rub on anything but they were damn close. I don't know what the part is called, but the top of the wheels were very close to some part of the suspension. All i told the insurance company (AAMI) was that they were 19's, the guy didnt ask for the width.

I hope that answers your questions!

Which rims? I reckon your Fairlane would look cool dumped on 19's!

Has to be dumped though, like crazy impractical street-sweeper low.

I'm pretty patient, I'll wait for the end result- more satisfying!
