Default 19s Please help!!!

I'm looking for a new set of wheels/tires for my 2000 Trans AM WS6. I'm thinking about going with 19s in the back (the wider the better) and 18s up front. My car is black so I'd like black wheels to go with it. My problem is, on all these tire websites, they're telling me 19s wont fit. Anyone know why? Also, if they do fit, does anyone know where to find some?


YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

if they're telling you that 19's don't fit, it is not due to the diameter being 19". it is either the offset or lug pattern. because technically you are on a 5x4.75 pattern vs. a 5x120mm pattern. some companies will not sell you a 5x120 wheel for an f body because it is technically inccorrect for your application.
what are the wheels and sizes of the wheels and offset? post some links. someone will be able to help you.

I got my 19s off of a website and they had a large selection of 19s that will fit. Mine are staggered which is the only way they would sell them in a package. 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the back.

Yeah I think that's wheelsnext.com but they really didn't have a large selection of 19s. Also, I'd like a 1 inch diffrence between the wheels so I'm looking for a site that has 18s and 19s, any suggestions?

I dont know about that. I dont like that look a whole lot, you have to make sure you choose tire size correctly to keep it from looking funny. Most of the members on here that have smaller wheels on the front have a taller profile tire on them to keep the OD the same. It makes the car look funny to me.
