first of all, i tried searching so all of you evom know-it-alls dont even say "search" i typed in all different combinations of words but since "19" and "inch" were too short of words, the search didnt even use them.

now to my question. i really like how these wheels look but they only offer them in 19". i was orignally looking into 18" wheels because i think 19" is a little to big but these wheels are the sex. anyways, i was wondering if there were any major drawbacks for having 19" wheels. (performance, handling, fitment)

thanks a lot, i appreciate it

Increased tire costs
Increased weight
Avoid potholes like its your job

I think the ride would get worse, the car would not handle as well and the 19 inch rims wouldn't serve any purpose on a daily driven car.

 

so the 19" rims would be easier to break/crack also im assuming

 

Well I live in NY and I have Racing Hart 19" with 245/40/19 Toyo Proxis and they ride fine.
The wheels dont weight any more than a stock wheel. And Yes they look hot.
With any wheel other than stock you have to watch for holes......

 

Here you gohttps://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=171515

 

does the 19" affect the quarter mile time at all or how fast u go from a roll lets say from like 5mph to 100mph

 

More rotating mass typically means slower times.

 

would it affect it by a lot or like 0.02 seconds

HERES A THREAD WITH SOME 19" RIMS FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE. DONT WORRY IM NOT ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT SAY "SEARCH" IM JUST TRYIN TO HELP A BROTHER OUT.

 

Most of the show guys are running 19's on their EVO's. Most everyone else is running 17's / 18's. 19's can definitely be done, but just keep in mind that any increases in rotating mass (weight / size of a wheel) decreases the power you're getting to the ground. 19" wheels are not any weaker or stronger than 17/18, but since you usually run a lower profile tire, you are subjecting the wheels to more stress. I would recommend a solid JDM wheel (Volk or Advan) if you're looking to run 19's.
