19's should fit with a special offset.

The only problem I see with this setup would be that you couldn't lower the vehicle. Since you can't do that, 19's will raise the car up about 2" and will give it that oh so pleasant 4x4 look.

Do you have a link or pic of your fav 19's?

No offense intended on this. IMO, the front looks ok, but the rear is way too high. The thing really needs to be lowered. The tires are also way too skinny. They almost look like big black runner bands. I've read that if you increase the wheel size more than 2" over stock (doesn't matter what car), then the ride quality really suffers. Is your ride pretty harsh? Other than that, the car looks good.

well surprisingly the ride is actually pretty good; the only problem i have encountered so far is speed bumps in parking lots (the narrow steep ones) i have to go super slow of its jsut shocking, ive thought about lowering it before but its already pretty low and im kinda worried about clearence, if anything id go with .5 or 1 if i ever do; does lowering it effect the ride either?

Yes, it will, but if your factory shocks are worn, then it could improve the ride quality. If you lower it, you will need to make sure tht the wheel and tires won't rub on the fender wells.

Eibachs are good if you are wanting to go slightly lower(.8). They will stiffen the ride some from what I heard but not too much. I have a set but havn't put them on yet. If you are still on stock springs then chances are that they are sagging and it wouldn't make a huge difference to put the Eibach springs on. Most people are satisfied with them.
