Default 19" and 20" rims??

My girlfriend has 18" Budnik's now and wants to go bigger. Questions:

-Will 19" and 20" rims ruin the ride because of reduced sidewall?

-What rims are available in this size with at least a 10" rear?

The car is not lowered and looks OK with the 18's. It looks ok because it has 295/35's. What sizes are you guys running with 19" rims and 295's? PICS.

-Will I have to lower the car if I go with 19" because of lower profile tire?

Thanks.

275/30/19's on my Evo's. As far as ride quality, I personally didn't notice much of a difference from 17's. I'm sure other will tell you differently, however.

-Will 19" and 20" rims ruin the ride because of reduced sidewall?

My experience with switching from 17" to 19" (on a Maxima) was that the ride was only slightly reduced. I only notice it when hitting bad bumps, but the roads are pretty good here in AZ so no biggie.

-What rims are available in this size with at least a 10" rear?

I am also looking at 19 and 20". Check out http://www.hpdesignwheels.com. A lot of peeps are running the Lightning (shown above). And the HPR5 is now available in 20". The HPdesign rims are typically 9.5" for our cars.

-Will I have to lower the car if I go with 19" because of lower profile tire?
No. The overall diameter of the wheel/tire combo will remain the same. Although, practically speaking, lowering does compliment the look of larger wheels.

I don't remember the offset of the wheels. I know they are for the corvette offset. I sold the wheels to a member here in ls1tech.
