Yes 19's can be done quite easy. I've got 215/35/19 and I had to roll the guards and lip them a little, and with no spacer plates either. Just choose the right rims first.

215s all around? Those are SKINNY.





I'd rather go with 18s and have some rubber than having the 19s with the rubber band for a tire.

It's all up to you. Because i've lowered it, I can't put 225 as the tyre will rub inside the wheel arch at full lock.

The biggest size rims I think you should put on a FD would be 18's,19's are to big unless you dont care about performace.Either show or go. 18's are perfect!

Trading looks for performance with an FD? Shame shame.

Am I the only person to have seen 285/30/18 on all four corners on a FD? This is with no real fender work. If you need to take your car into a bodyshop to have your fenders rolled then you probably need help changing your oil too.



But 215's? C'mon.....

ghetto roll it with a baseball bat, make sure you heat up the fenders first so you dont crack your paint
