19" rims

I just wanted to know first of all if 19" rims will fit and the second question is can I still race if I did get that big and I know that it will add more weight then my stock steelies I had at first but I just wanted to know.

Yes, 19" wheels fit and they will slow you down.

yea, they will fit. i just got my 19s on today.... they look awesome but i did notice that it takes longer for my car to accelerate. like it pulls the same at 3k RPMs as it did at 2500 rpms when i had my stock wheels. but my car was really slow before so i dont care.... its a little slower now but its worth it for the look.

and no, i wouldnt reccomend racing with 19s.

Yup 19s fit, I have them and so do many other members here.

I wouldnt recommend racing on 19s either, but my 19s only weigh 19.6lbs, which is a shitload less than my old 17" Konig Prophets weighed so its not that bad, you just notice the intertia when starting out, but its not bad. Civics are slow anyways...

Whats the ride quality like on 19" wheels? I know it sucks with my 18" wheels Im pretty sure it's just as bad or worst.

my ride quality is the best ever.... feels like a benz in my car w/ my suspension..


tire quality is the most important thing
next suspension is important
and last of all SEats.. can help to absorb/intensify ride quality


my ride quality is a 10/10..(oem id say is 7/10)
my car rides smooth grabs good, turns even better, quick response.
riley

falken azeni are the quietest 19" tires
toyo's are decent
nitto neogen grip like a **** and ride nice
yoko spec2 suck on treadware and are loud
khumo...if u buy khumo go shoot urself
same with nankang
other than that theirs not any more tires except BFG KDW2 and their sick as fuc.. kinda loud.. but for racing!

pirelli p7000 suck ****

pireli pzero nero.. amazing.. kinda thick... but amazing.. no longer sold i dont think

The ride is actually the same as when I had my 17s. I'm surprised at how the car rides being lowered almost all the way with TeinSS. It doesnt bounce, ride quietly and goes in and out of uneven surfaces smoothly. I have 215/35/19 Toyo Proxes also.... I'm sure they help out too. Honestly though, I cant tell the difference between the ride I had with my 17s and 19s.
