will 19's fit on a 2001 tib at stock height without rubbing or nething and if so what size tire should i get and how do i get the speedo recalibrated

 

IS your car your daily driver? IF so I would reconsider getting 18s or 17s. If you go with 19" inch wheels you will need 35 series rubber. You will be sacrificing ride comfort and driveability due to the ultra-low side wall. Your speedo will be the least of your troubles once you curb a wheel and you WILL curb a wheel.

Good luck.

 

no, if you go with 19's, you'll need 30 series tires. you need 35 series for 18's.

this is a very useful calculator

it looks like 205/30/19 would be the best choice. 195/30/19 would be a closer match for your speedo, but that's just stupid. get 17's. that's the most practical and reasonable size for 1 and 2g tibs. if you had a 3g, you could get away with 19's more easily.

 

well i already have 17's and wanna get rid of them and wanna upgrade to 19's...and i'm not worried bout curbing cuz every where i park is pretty much open no curbs around haven't curb one yet in over a year
thanx for the info tho

ps..do they even make 205 30 19's??
