so if I go with 19s, i have to change up my whole suspension? I am playing to change it up anyways but not until later on, will it be really bad to ride on 19s with stock suspension?

It wont be bad riding on 19s with factory suspension. It will actually be smoother but if u have people in ur car and u hit a bump u might rub. With stiffer suspension u wont rub when u bounce or anything cus of the siffer suspension but ur ride will be bouncier and stiffer.

yeah i was asking that earlier about 19's vs 18 I really want 19's but I dont want to change out the whole suspension so now I dont know im confused if my car will look ok with 19's on a stock suspension with maybe a 1.75 " drop then I'll get the 19"s can someone with experince tell me this also it will be a daily driver 15 miles round trip on smooth roads.

Only 15 miles daily on smooth roads. U'll never have problesm then cus u wont have to worry much about potholes and stuff. Here in Houston the roads suck so if u dont know the roads u could end up fu (kin up a rim. Im not too sure how it will look with stock suspension but u will have a gap.

I really want to get 19s too. I want to get Racing Harts C2s, but I'm worried about bending the lip on them. Most of the road around where i live are good, but a few are not. Doesn't anyone know how strong the RH C2 wheels are? And alot of you guys say to get a stiffer suspension with the 19s, right? I'm looking into get Tein SS and wanted to know if this would work good with 19s, and do you think it will drop enough for the 19s? Thanks.
