don't think anyone here has done it - but I know its been done. There are limits on how far you can drop your car with 19's without rubbing fenders. You can always roll your fenders tho.

Try Audiworld.com - a few have done it over there.<edited><editID>brrman</editID><editDate>37957.3791898148</editDate></edited>

If your worried about performance at all get 18"s. 19" actually hurt performance pretty badly. I find they simply look too big also. But to each his own.

My suggestion is try to find someone with 19"s and put them on your car to see...

yeh thats what i wanna do eh... but none of my mates have 19s... their all running 18 inch's</P>


Im not to worried about the performance side of it. Im going more for looks but like you said i dont want the rims to look to big for the car, you know? and 19s might make the car to high off the ground even with adjustable suspension and a bodykit....</P>


but we'll soon see.</P>


cheers anyway</P>

yeh its a hard decision.....</P>


I want 19s but i dont wanna to be to big, but on the other hand i think if i got 18s i would be always wishing i'd bought 19s..... 18 inch rims are so common around my way hey. so 19s would be i bit more of a head turner.</P>


Still unsure....<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0"></P>

They might notlook too big if you got a painted finish like black or white er somthin but it still might end up being a carpet queen<IMG src=smileys/smiley21.gif border="0"></P>
