Performance difference between 18" and 19" wheels

So, any reason you can't run a smaller diameter rim with a wider tire? No.

Thanks

Any reason you can't buy a SMALLER DIAMETER rim with a WIDER PROFILE, thereby being able to SAFELY put a wider tire on it?
No.
Example, I think Jason@performance (or someone) has 17x11 in the back.

Please enlighten us with how much of a difference? Looks like Nissan went with 19s for the 06 model. Would it be legal for them to post the same performance #s? I'll do some testing with my Gtech pro later on. Are you rolling on some light weight volks?
unknown because i don't know the wheel and tire weights of the new 19s in the 2006 model
and the question is moot because nissan doesn't post performance numbers... magazines do. Nissan publishes specs.
