I'm rolling on Konis and Strano springs. It's not bad, but then again my daily driver is a saab 9-3 which has bilsteins, so it has a nice smooth, european feel to it. So going over to the t/a, it's more firm with only a 30 series tire.

I have those same wheels but with a black face and 18" In the rear I am running 295/35/18 and I think it rides fine. I mean the car in general rides rough, but I've designed it for performance, which means it's a little more harsh in some areas. I don't mind it.

I think the speedlines look way better than the Ruff wheels.

I actually prefer the stock look, and switched out the 17/18 combo on my SOM WS.6, for some "Stock" 00 WS.6 wheels.

I like speedlines so much Ive got 7 lol The first set was from a rookie driver & had curb rash & bent inner lips on 2 So I found 3 more to roll a nice set until I send 2 in to get widened to 11in & get the needed repairs They look sweet on my 95 My 2 cents is 17s or 18s tops on 4th gens

Im pretty happy with my 19s , I could feel the road more but I dont see myself going back to stockers for a better ride , I mean its an F-body , I dont care for the ride quality THAT much . I think the Ruff`s looked pretty good , I wouldnt have swapped them out .
However I do agree with the stock radio`s looking better sometimes I wish I still had the factory HU just for its looks ..

19" fills the wheel well and looks real good! I agree that the 19" is rough but personally coming from 18", it doesn't make much of a difference for me. However, its all personal choice - if you love it, thats all it matters! The ride in the transam has always been rough - i notice it on a day to day basis when i switch between my Jag which has 20" wheels with 35 aspect ratio tire but the ride is real smooth. I didn't buy the transam for its ride anyways...
