Why do you keep starting new threads about the same thing? Post in the old threads. And it depends on your camber settings and your tire size.

Three to four bolts rear, do it when you install the suspension. Front is just a bolt.

the thing you should be asking yourself is "why 19's?"

falken, i know you're riding on some pretty sweet 19" racing harts and are probably fine, but it pains me to see folks out there rolling on dinged-up bling.

the fact is that it doesn't take much to scab a rim when you only have a 35 series piece of rubber protecting it from the road.

who really cares anyway? peimp is just going to start 3 more threads asking the same damn question in different ways anyway.

wait... before he does

dude, i needed an answer asap, as my car was in the shop and i needed to make a decision right then. sorry if it bothers you so much. I'll try to keep my topics in the same thread from now on. I really dont understand why everyone on this forum gets so worked up when new people join and ask questions. why dont you treat everyone with respect and stop with the internet name calling while hiding behind your little computer screen. this is supposed to be a community of people who share an interest in cars, not a "noob" bashing forum where people are afraid to ask a question. If you dont like the fact that i want 19s on my car, then why waste your time typing about it? i just looked at what you posted in one of my other threads, and i really appreciate that. not trying to be a jackass at all, but i seriously have no background with this car. I bought it to learn about them, and thats what im here to do.

don't worry about them, as long as you dind't buy CHROME 19's your fine. please tell me you didn't do so.

prokit is 1" drop i believe? w 19's you'll be fine. what size tires are you going to use? and how wide are the rims?

19*7.5 will be fine, with minimal rubbing, some 35 series tires are good good, you'll have a 2-3 finger gap.

just be warned, you'll be experiencing a harsher ride, and more road noise since there will be less rubber to stop bumps and noise.

it'll look great, if you pic some nice rims. i personally think 17s are too small unless the car is slammed with no gap.

well good luck, and don't worry about those who act ignorant to noobs. they were noobs sometime as well...

First of all, if you didn't know the answer, then your car had NO business being in the shop getting worked on. I really don't understand why people waste shitloads of money on things that they just "think is cool" so they do it and have no idea of the consequences of the action. Its re-fuggin-diculous.
Second of all, if the shop was unable to determine this, then you should have taken it somewhere else. Clueless shops are the second biggest problem behind clueless people with too much money. If they didn't know the answer and they didn't have the sense to test fit it before they ****ed around with it, then they have no business charging money to do work on people's car.
Third... when things fall off the first page several things cause it
1. No one knows the answer or the people who do haven't been on to see it
2. No one cares to answer because its a basic question that can be answered by searching
3. You've annoyed everyone by posting the same thing 5 times.
One thread is all it takes. There's an edit button, you can add 5000 questions to the original post along the same line of questioning, or you can just post a reply with follow up questions to answers that come in, and if no one answers in a 24 hour period, I don't see anything wrong with a one time TTT (to the top) bump to see if someone knows the next day.
Most noobies come on here thinking everyone is just going to drop everything and help them with something basic in 10 minutes, when in fact it takes 2 to just search and find it.
I've said it before, I guess it bears repeating again.... the car has been out for 5 years. If its a basic mod, we know just about everything there is to know. You can find it with the search button.

whats the deal with all the negative attitudes on this forum? I said i would try to keep it in the same thread, so why waste your time typing about how i should? The reason i was trying to get info, like i said, was because I was switching my order from what the tire shop reccommended to what people on here recommend. Sorry if it seems like I dont know everything about the car, thats probably why im asking questions. I had searched for about an hour while posting, and only peoples replies that i recieved then are what really helped me out.

and no, the wheels are not chrome. lol! they are 19x8 with pirelli p zeros 215/35/19, so im hoping i wont get too much rubbing. I appreciate the kind words, sweeteli99. Ill post pics when i get them installed.

although i agree with what boilermaker said, only 1 person saying it is enough, but nope, the whole world comes and attacks the noobs.

back on subject:
cant wait for pics though, i think you'll be fine, depending on your taste, prokit might be too high for you since it is a small drop. most people i've seen with the prokit, i could barely tell it is dropped. maybe the 19's will be good at filling the gaps.

anyways good luck, and next time try to search before you post something, or atleast post it only once. if you don't the hounds will come after you j/k
