19's on a lancer?

Sup fellas,

i went on www.discounttire.com and they gave 19 inch rims as an option for the lancer. I was under the impression that the biggest you could go wihtout mods was 18's. ahhhhhhh help me.

The people at Accolade have 19's on their test Lancer. I wouldn't recommend them if you enjoy subtle luxuries of driving such as: turning.

ahahah that was the post of the day

If you want 19s and driveability, you need to go with modified fenders (i.e. wide body).

Probably the website only enters the distance from center of the brakes to the fender, and calculates whatever sizes can fit.

The look os dope with 19s on...

yeah bro stick with 18 if you want to turn go with 19 if its for looks i myself just got two sets one is 18's and the others are 20's dont ask why got the 20 for free when i bought my hydros for the lancer the 20 are just like sporty looking though there not gettho or anything but hey if i have hydros just raise the car and of you go. I would say go for the 19's it does look dope makes the lancer look like a luxery car like a bmw

hmmm so 19's aren't very driveable. Its a show car but nontheless its not a trailer car either. Damnit i guess i'll go with 18's. What do you guys think about Konig? I like the company but the quality of their rims i'm unsure of what you guys think?
