19's are perfect in "my" opinion
different strokes for different folks.
you'll get some people that hate 19 and bigger, but you will also get people who love'em.

i am bias tho....lol !

19 front and 20 rear.

i even run 20's on my daily 01 Xtreme Blazer and 22's on my 01 Xtreme Blazer project.

i'm a big wheel kinda guy.....lol !

summer ride


my daily with 20's


my project with 22" Boyd Coddington Harms (soon to be bagged)

Personally, imho, I don't dig it. I guess I'm old school. I remember when muscle cars came with 14's and 15's. So, when the 3rd gens started getting factory 16's and then 17's for our 4th gens, I thought that was a nice improvement in looks and performance. Then it got crazy. 18's, 19's, 20's, 22's, 24's !?! If wheels are too big, that's all you notice about a car. I prefer for everything to be cohesive so you see the car as a whole. For me, the sweet spot is 17's. If the 5th gen is designed with 18's or 19's, I may reconsider. But, I'll have to wait till I see one.

I have the 19 HP evo's with 275/30's. Traction loss is ridiculous and ride harshness is also ridiculous. Thinking about selling them and going with some 18's...

For the folks that say they ride rough, do you have the stock shocks or aftermarket ones?

I find it strange that some folks like the ride and others hate it. There has to be more to the equation.

Can anyone tell me if these are 18's or 19's?

Whatever they are, they look great to me.






I want those exact ones for my black TA.
