Plenty of people have put 19's on their car on this forum. Plenty of people have not experienced any problems as well. I personally have 19X8 in front and 19X9.5 in the rear with no problems. I also have a stock ride height but plenty of people have lowered their cars with 19's and did not report any issues in ride quality etc. Just make sure you go to a reputable shop who will test fit the wheels you buy. That's important.

They run quite nicely. Haven't had any rubbing problems until just last week when I hit a side step that fell off a truck, which that threw off my alignment and canmber and now the right rear tire rubs the inside of my bumper. But before that no problems at all. My car is also lowered with Eibach springs which isn't that big of a drop. Course I plan to get 20's here hopefully in a couple weeks, so then I know I'll have rubbing problems.

Before putting my wheels on, my alignment was a little off, and i never got my wheel alignment done after the wheels either. Do you guys think i should get it done now? Dealer or regular mechanic should be able to do it?
