*Going from stock 18's to aftermarket 19's*
 
Yesterday I just put on my brand new rims and tires, which I will be posting the pics soon. But, I swear going from stock 18's to aftermarket 19's it seems like my ride became awhole lot smoother and rode so much better. Is it me or is it the rims and tires? My set up is 245/35/19fr and 275/35/19r on Toyo Proxes T1-S. Yall let me know if yall had the same impression or am I just losing my mind....lol :icon38:

Same Impression...

Definitely the softer Toyos.

Enjoy them new wheels! :cool:

Thanks man, you know I will....damn it drives like a different car but in a freaking awesome way.

so it's worth the 3g? :icon38:

Dude it's worth it by far...I don't like the fact the tire life isn't going to be pass 20k, but everything has it's expenses. If anybody is riding on stock they have no idea how much better their ride will be when they get 19's.... ( don't cheat yourself, instead treat yourself)....lol :icon21:

i'm surprised why the ride is better, i mean the rims are big, stiffer, tires are thinner..mmmm guess I'll find out after I get my rims.

It might just be the tires like someone previously posted before. I don't know if it it could be the 19 inch rims that smooth things out also. Maybe there will be other's with 19's that will reply and see what their views of their 19's compared to their stock 17/18 inch stock rims.

i dont believe its the diameter of the wheel that makes for the smoother ride - its the new rubber combined with the softer compound that you are lovin...

Enjoy :)
