Supra N_A Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 thinking of getting some 19s I have seen and there very nice indeed its just what is peoples opinion on 19s, my worry is they might look to big? does it scrub the arch? handling? does any one have any pictures of 19s fitted and give advice on what they are like?

hodge Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I've had 19s on both my without issues. Have a look in my garage at my blue supra. Never had handling issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I've had 17s, 18s and 19s on various Supras. 19s don't ride half as well as 18s, where 18s are noticeably worse than 17s. I'd go with widened stock 17s if doing another Supra, though 18s are a good compromise. 19s are okay, but not for a daily IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nige-rz Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Another +1 for 19's from me. Its the only size which imo fills the arch nicely. Everything else just looks lost on the supra's big bottomed booty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SilverSup Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 i've got 19's on mine at the mo. and it's also lowered on coilovers. Ride is on the hard side, but that's the way i like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Had 19s for a while, I'm going to be getting 18s though so that the ride is a little more compliant. With 19s there is a bit more road noise and they are less comfortable. The car will handle like it's on rails though. The downfall with the lower profile is that you won't get any warning when the back end is going to let go, that bit more sidewall gives you more margin for error as it were. The tighter and harder everything is the better the grip will be but the quicker things will let go. It all depends on your driving style really and what you are after. With 18s a normal driver will be given more confidence, on the 19s with a smaller profile you will be able to get more lateral grip but if you drive near the edge you can fall off a lot easier. If you don't plan on driving on the edge, don't mind a bit of extra road noise and want the look then 19s are definitely what you want to go for. If you aren't the Stig, want to drive the car hard with confidence and want it a little quieter and smoother while looking almost as good as the 19s then go with the 18s.

Luxluc Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I have 19" on mine now .. and will be changing for wider rims, but again in 19". 18" looks too small on a Supra imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
