I have a question for you guys running larger wheels. How does the ride compare to the stock 245-50-17 to say what everyone one run on their 19s the 245-35-19 and the 285-35-19. Is it alot worse?

thanks,

There is a noticable difference... I would say its a little more "bumpy"... This also depends on your suspension...

 

it also totally depends on what exact tire you are comparing

 

You'll feel the road more...pot holes...ect...

 

No one cares about performance or ride. Its all about looks. Go 19-inch wheels at least.

 

It's pretty bumpy. But again, looks is everything! If I wanted a smooth ride, I'd have gotten a SUV to begin with.

 

you can easily have both good looks and a good ride with good performance...the three are not mutually exclusive

 

ok i have another question.....on our front hub the small bolt in between the studs what does this do? I just bought a set of maido gr5 19s and put them on today but i could not get the front rim on with this small bolt on but with out the wheels fit fine. I just want to make sure ive not messed something up before it gets bad.......thanks

 

It all depends on profile and tires.... most of the time.. if you get aftermarket rims.. you'll pretty much feel the road but w/e. Keeps me awake wen im driving

 

The bolt is so that installers dont put the factory rear wheels on the front. Dont laugh, cause to my shock my bud was getting some new tires mounted on his G the other day, and he calls me to say "WTF, they are still working on my car. They cant get the tires on!" I was around the corner at the time, so I drive over, and the damn grease monkeys were trying to fit a rear wheel on the front... Shocking...

 

you will feel a difference...but its nice!

 

lol thats what i told the shop it was for was to make sure the right tire went on and they looked at me like i was stupid.....i cant wait to go back by lol

thanks for your help guys,

Jeremiah
