- wider selection

19" (pros)
- looks better (personal opinion)
- can take larger rotor
- stiffer sidewall (since there is less, but depends on tire)

wider tire (pros & cons)
- better traction
- props from peeps :-p
- reduced mpg (rolling resistance)
- more expensive to replace

another thing to consider is the offset.

Thanks for the info

! found out!, for a mate!

enjoy the X, different beast from the IX, but with a few mods starts to come alive

I've driven an X on 19s and have to say I'm glad I bought 18s, some tram lining on 275s and it just didn't feel right, they weren't Advans though!

I'd like to get 285 rubbers, but I'd imagine you'd need to roll fenders with that set up right? How much is it to roll fenders anyway?
