So How Does The Drivability Change When You Put 19s On?

[DodgeViper01]

I am thinking of 19s on at least the rear if not all around. Will the driving dynamics of the car change drastically? I spoke to Dimitrios and he said there was very little change, but I would like to hear from others as well.

Thanking you in advance

I haven't noticed any change in the way it handles, but I do crinch a little when I hit a hole or bump. The tire sidewalls are very short and I do keep expecting to bend a rim.

19's all around here with Pirelli P0's. Switched from the stock 17's and Pilots. Much tighter in cornering with just a marginal difference in ride harshness. Of course going from the taller stock tires to the shorter low profile, I would have expected a bigger difference in the ride quality (worse) but it wasn't. So I would say going from 18's to 19's, you shouldn't notice any difference. I think any difference is going to depend more on the tires (size, brand, etc.) Also, there were no change in speedo accuracies. That's all dependent on the aspect ratios you choose for the tires when switching to a larger wheel.

biggest thing I noticed was much easier to spin. Tap the throttle and my car goes sideways, esp when I get into boost

id think the difference is gonna be in the tire more than anything. 19's dont really have much options like us 18's..

is the PS2 available yet in the 19".. ???

Are the 19 Inch Pirelli P Zeros lower profile Tires than the Pilot Sports Tires?

Maybe.

Are you going for the ones that i like????? Yeh you know the ones.....

Changed to 19" rears and light weight wheels. Handling is about the same but the ride improved noticeably.

I have 19" fronts and 20" rears in the PS2's. I don't think the ride changed much at all but I went with a taller profile tire than usual for a 20" tire. (335/30/20)

Tiger if you go to 19s dont try and hang with us.Handling goes out the door 19 are for looks 18 are to run There is to little side wall on a 19 and to much unsprung weight, just ask Sal he is switching back to his 17s or 18s

actually 19" HRE & iForged are LIGHTER then the stock 18" factory wheels.

I had Purner make me custom 19s with 345s on the back a few years ago and absolutely love them. The car sits just slightly higher. When you close the hood though, the side of the hood will slightly rub against the tire but not enough to do any damage.
