Question Wheel size

Anyone ever successfully put 19X9s before on their 8, without losing horsepower/torque????

If so, Any suggestions on good wheels?

sure as long as the weight is the same and rolling diameter is the same as the 18x8 wheel...there are several light weight wheels out there

also as long as you go bigger than the 225s that the stock wheels have. you will have more grip in that case.

Volk TE-37 Mag FTW!

a whole lot lighter than stock, will make the car feel faster, almost $5000

if you lose unsprung weight, your car will feel faster

many guys around here run up to 9.5 on their cars front and rear with 275 tires so a 9 with a 245/35 or 255/35 should be just fine.
