I had 18's and they were very close to rubbing with stock suspension, but if i had a full car load, it would definately bottom over bumps. 18's were heavy, decreasing throttle response and performance, so i'd imagine 19's would be worse, oh and not to mention having to practically crawl over bumps as the rubber was 35 series.

i have 16's still but i put 40's on instead of 50's so now i have 205/40/16's , but someone told me it is gonna mess up my speedometer??? not sure on that one. going with 19's way to big i don't think i would go above 17's , just to keep all the headaches away with rubbing and all that. 19's look good in car shows but that is about it

you speedo may be effected because you have changed the actual diameter of the tire. smaller rim=more rubber, larger rim=less rubber. This compensates and keeps the actual diameter the same, therefore the actual revolutions it takes a tire to go around once is the same.

Regardless of whether or not they'll rub, it's been covered here before that 19's are going to adversely impact your performance, even if the rims are lighter then stock. I can't recall the exact reasoning, and I'm sure as hell not going to search for an 18 month old thread, but it had something to do with increased rotating mass vs leverage, centrifugal force, the air speed velocity of a swallow, and splitting atoms. I don't actually remember if the thread refrenced 18"s or 19"s, but I know the guy was losing over a second in the quarter mile.
