Default 19" wheel questions..

Im pretty sure im gunna go with the axis speed six.. in a 19x8" with 215/35/19.. ive read a few posts about rubbing... my question here is how is the ride? My box is dropped 2" on goldlines, im sure i'll get minimal rubbing ( u-turns/hard turns ) but I can deal with that I drove a air bagged mini-truck for 4 years after that rubbing sounds and 5 point turns don't bother me anymore. But if i'm going to feel every quarter laying in the road, I may just go with 18s.. also, since there is no alignment on this car, how are the tires going to wear?? 19" rubber gets expensive at $180 a corner... - thanx

Go with the 19"s you will have no rubbing other than lock to lock turns.
I had a guy in the back seat last week dude goes 350 if hes a pound and had no rubbing in rear at all. So go whith the 19"s plus i have 18000 miles on mine and am still about a 2 months away from needing new tires so i have had no wear problems
good luck

Default Dubs or nothing

If you can do 19''s then you can do dubs. No teens around here!!!
