any of you guys in the chicago land area using 19's??? im thinking of throwing some on my 4.2 but would like to take a ride first. please help, thanks...

 

I have 19" on my 2003 4.2
I am up in Milwaukee so I dont know how well a ride would work. I can tell you that I do not notice any harshness in the ride. I actually like the steering response better with the 19" wheels. Also offset is important as he standard +35 offset of most wheels tucks the rims way back in the wheel well. I have spacers on my current wheels to get them to a +20 offset.

 

did you need the spacer because of the calipers?

 

no the wheels fit just fine. I just didn't like to look of the wheels tucked under the car. I put the 15mm spacers on and now the wheels are almost flush with the fender flares. I'll post pictures soon.
