19's on daily driver?

Hey,

I'm looking into getting some 19's with of course the only size of tires that will fit
(215/35/19) without any problems, the only thing i'm scared of is smashing my rims due to the fact that I will be driving my car everyday and also the roads down here are bad. Would you recommend I go for these and are there people that drive on there 19's everyday and have they come across any problems?

I have 18's and my car rides like %^&*. Ain't no way in hell I'd ride on 19's in our cars as a daily driver. I drive way too damn much for all that

Well I have 17" rims with 215/45 Kumho 712's and the roads in Oregon suck. I am glad I didn't do 18" or bigger for cost reasons also because I would hate the noise, rim bending so on.

But I have no clue how the roads are where you live, but I have half a mile of gravel road so that makes things even more interesting.

Nick

I have 17's and have no problem's. I'd get 18's but they are ALOT more expensive than 17's, including the tires. I have Kumho 711 tires and they are a good ride. noahnoah get better tires and you'll have a better ride.
