hey man

as far as i know, in terms of legalities, the maximum legal
increase is 1 inch in width, and 1 inch increase in total rolling
diameter...

therefore, stock gsi wheels are 14 inches in diameter, a 4 inch
increase will proably not be legal, let alone the extra strain its
gonna put on ur drivetrain components and engine...

i might be wrong on the olegalities

will look hot, but i dunno....

lol but man in brisbane theres no laws on rim sizes. i hav never heard of anyone being busted in QLD for the size of their rims.

i wouldnt recommend 19s unless ur gona roll the guards severely bcoz wen i had my 18x7.5's with 215/35 tyres i used to scrub my guards hardcore (unmodified guards).. although my car was dropped 3 inches at the time.... still as mentioned b4.. theres gona be heaps of problems u have to go through from fittin 19s but i guess ur willing to make the sacrifice to hav ur car looking awesome

dude i got 18's on mine and thats bad enough as it is. but i have seen 19's on a dc4 before, but u cant lower it that much unless u flare ur guards if u wanna slam it.

18's are big enough as is, i seriously think 17" is big enough. I would just buy sum nice 17's or 18's and leave it at that because you have to understand that the ride is going to be rough and also you have to look out for any little pot hole in the road so you dont buckle your rims. But i mean yes it would look cool to have 19's but its quite impractical

19's, as you all would have to admit would look so gangsta and insane on a dc4, but yeah, i wouldnt mine actually cutting out the gaurds and remoulding that section.... may cost a bit :(

They will fit.. I have them on my LS, and they fit easy.

Even though lots on here, bagged me for it. I say go for it

19's may fit an LS because they have larger arches than the DC4, and i say if your willing to go all out for... do it cos that would look mad

hmmmm......would look nice with 19" though, and from the last time i look......the legal size is 2 inch over or 2 inch under....i could be wrong but that was it the last time check with rta
