Default Who uses 19s on their Daily Driver Fbody?

Just wanted to know how 19s are as far as ride quality and performance difference in acceleration compared to a set of 17s or 18s. Looking to buy a set of 19 inch evo wheels with 275/30/19 tires on them. Also are there any problems in terms of the speedometer being off and TCS issues. thanks

As long as the overall tire height of the tire you are going to be running is around 25.6" , you won't have any problems with the speedo. Just make sure all 4 of your tires are the same height so you won't have any problems with your ABS.

I'm running a 19x10.5 with a 295 Pirelli. My car is slammed and the tires have never rubbed. My old 17x11/315's did, though. And that was with the stock springs/shocks. Suprised me, too.
