Default 19"s on an S

I just want to know if anybody has tried 19" wheels on an s2k or does anyone know if this will work. Any info is appreciated! Thanks

It will look a little goofy, I saw a red S with some 19" chrome wheels and it looked really goofy. It was a chick driving so I suppose she went and said I want big chrome wheels and that's what she got, ruined the aesthetics and performance of the S but got what she wanted...Big chrome wheels(at this point they're rims, though).

The biggest I would go is 18's. You can have almost no wheel gap but still have decent amount of ground clearance not have take speed bumps at angles.

I got a friend selling me some axis supermesh wheels I had on my 04 accord and I loved the wheels, but I sold them to my friend and now he's selling them back to me pretty damn cheap with tires. I might try them out to see how they look on the S and if I dont like it Ill trade somebody something else. but ill definetly poset some pics up when I get em. I just wasn't too sure if they would work on this car. Heres how it looked on my accord.

I think even 18s are too big for the s2k. 17s look perfect on this car.

17 with a drop = sexy.

19s will work on the car. You just have the follow the same offsets as you would for any other size. Also, I find it looks better with a body kit.

But keep in mind that most 19s are heavy and will affect performance, but if you're not tracking it, I wouldn't really worry about it.
