As above please people,
Whats members experience and thoughts on the ride on 19's as appose to 18's?
Really tempted with some 19's ive seen but don't want to wreck the ride quality...
Any input would be great.
Tyres would be 19 215 35,
Cheers Paul

Tyres effect the ride more than the wheel size.

One of the reasons I added the tyre size to the question...
Good to know that George cheers

Yes but this is just life.
You need the narrower/lower profile tyres for clearance.
These can effect the ride slightly.
You can't have both unfortunately

I run 19" on 225/35/19 and they do look good but the ride is a little harsher than when I had 18" on
