19s will be fine even with a 2.0/2.25 drop...you will need to run a 215/35

Thanks suprising, 99% of the people feel a MUCh harsher ride when they lower the sidewall signifigantly.

Yeah my ride on 215/45/17 wasn't too bad but the roads here suck and I have taken them off due to that and tire cost. 19" look sick if you have the cash

i got some 245/35/19 and the wider tire ratio helps me grip the road better but yeah it's true you get a harsher ride (not that harsh) you also got to watch out for the camber angle when you drop your car becuase the road will eat your tires alive if the alignment angles are off set ( especialy toe and camber angles)

/\/\/\/\ Hellz no he doesnt there is no way... I've run two sets of 19's and both on 215/35/19's Falken St-115's... on B&G Coilovers... I only rub in the front when I completely lock the wheel right or left...
