I am thinking of changing out the rims on my car and going with 19's all around. I am also thinking of adding the L5 fender flairs so those with 19's and L5's please post as well.

Here is a photo of my current setup.

Kal El I wouldn't change a thing about your set up, it looks great

Ive been running 19/19 on both my vettes and I'm considering going with a 19/20 now by stepp lipping my rears

If you ever wanna trade me those wheels id be ready anytime

These cars look best with a staggered setup. 18/19 is my favorite combo, but 19/20 can be striking with the right wheels, especially if the car is wide body.

Going with a larger diameter rear wheel makes for a smaller aspect ratio. ( smaller sidewall )
If hook up is a consideration, you would want more sidewall in the rear ( More ability to flex ). Having a larger sidewall in the rear is an aesthetic and functional plus, I would rather have that extra "INCH " in the sidewall, and not in the diameter of the wheel.
Needing the extra inch of diameter in the rear to make AH work, I would rather have it in the tire and not the wheel.

Here's a few pics of mine on OZ Rafaello's 19/20 with custom powder coating in torch red barrels, pearl gray spokes w/polished faces and satin black lips. "Dare to be different"

Also have 19s all around...I somewhat agree though in that the cars look best with a stagger; the wheel openings aren't the same size and the stagger helps that wedge look. Admittedly however I think they need a non existent 18.5 front/19 rear. The 18s can look too small and the rear needs a 19 unless it's in the dirt/drag setup.

Can be offset by a meaty rear. I think I will go to a 27"+ rear tire if staying.

I need coilovers to get the nose down. Photoshop 'plans' with powder coated wheels, coilovers and new markers included.

very nice, original wheels, never seen those before

Brit dex

just out of interest why is the stock, and lot of aftermarket a 1" difference front to back?

Joe_Joe

Thanks for the compliments guys. I do agree that a staggered setup looks best, but this being my 4th set of 19/20's I felt it is time for a change.

I agree with Evil-Twin and I would like to have a bit more tire (for security) and a little less wheel. I'm sure that sounds crazy and I will soon come to my senses, but as of this post it sounds logical to me.

Thanks *****, This is my 5th set of wheels on this car. First set were Forgestar CF5, then TWS Panarama's, next was a set of Sport Muscle GS wheels, followed by a set of Factory Speedlines powder coated black. I stumbled upon the OZ's. They were corroded and the clear coat was peeling. I disassembled them, wet sanded them like Toque did his CCW's. Instead of polishing them out, I polished just the face of the spokes and had the powder coating done in the colors I previously specified. It was a lot of work but the results were worth it. I appreciate the compliment!
