Yeah so i just got my 19's on yesterday finally (ill post pics later, of course with my luck it snows when i put them on)

But yeah i notice the ride was alot louder..is that normal?

 

trucks are always louder

 

wow 19's on a b5, those things must rub. Yea road noise is gunna be louder because of the bigger wheel, you will also lose a lot of acceleration.

 

yeah i wanna see some pics! Cause i right iam think ing on buying a set of 19's chrome 5 spoke!!! so it would be nice to see what it looks like and thats normal cause when i put my 22's on my truck you could hear the difference in noise level!! and do they rub at all, did youdo any fender trimming?

 

Rubbing is not a problem interestingly enough. Yeah ill get some pics up.

+1 on losing some acceleration, its sucks but if you wanna play you gotta pay..

 

the reason its louder is becuase you have less tire

 

I'm sorry what was the question... got hypnotised by your avatar... rims? yea' rims are nice...

SMo'

 

Why do you guys think it will rub? The overall tire Diameter is not larger (assuming you got the correct tires) and the overall tire width is the same (also assuming he got the right sized wheels and tires).. Its just more rim / tire ratio..

 

About a 235/35/19 should work at the biggest and245/30/19 is the same size as stockpretty much but is an oddball size....at least around here.

 

i can guarantee that when you lower it, rubbing issues will occur. I have 18's lowered 2 inches on 225-40's and rubbing is an issue for me, not major, but it definately has held me back from getting 19's.
