Hey guys
Just a quick question. Has anyone here fitted 19x8.5 wheels (or similiar) on a CL9? I heard going from 16" stockies to 19's (235/35/19) will have a huge downgrade in performance, handling and fuel economy.
Has anybody got any experience with this before? How noticeable is the difference?
I'd hate to drive out of a tyre shop and regret my decision straight away
Thanks!! =)
You will need a low offset to clear your struts you will need guards rolled. Yer it will downgrade performance, howevwer i assume the reasin your getting them is for looks and not performance
dont do it!
i was planning on doing this...
pros and cons?
PROS:
LOOKS GOOD
CONS:
POSSIBLE INCREASE IN FUEL + BAD PERFORMANCE (due to weight)
i just got 20" for my euro .. did i make a mistake ? LLOLL but then again im in it for looks not performance and will be running bags
^ nicee where you located?
in NSW
got Works vs Fx , same one as mr rein ! LOL wasnt planning on getting them but it was up for a good price so why not ? lol
I got 19s x 8.5 its perfect to tell you the truth. Still, i get about 600ks on a full tank. It looks amazing and for performance wise its great to tell you the truth. Still quick and for handling don't get cheap tyres..
Thanks guys.
y.vtech, what wheels did you get? are they light weight brand name rims or just cheapies?
is there a reason why i shouldn't?Quote:
