Default 19" wheels?

how do you guys think 19" wheels would look on the S?

and how low do you think my car would be to the ground with low profile tires on?

thanks.

i think they may look too big, but you may like them. depends what your intentions are with the car. check out the gallery and see what you think.

you'd have to drop the car or be running rubberband tires.

I don't think they look too big at all! What needs to be changed on the front suspension for this to work anyways?

i am machining the front spindles, nuckles and calliper brackets to change my offset by 5 mills so i can lower it a bit more. currently it has a one inch drop with verry minor rubbing in the front once in a wile.
so depending on want you dont really have to do this though but if you find the right offset your laughing. some people say to loose the fender liners and roll the fenders but i like my fender liners and they are more important than most people think.
