You might get them to fit but your teeth and spine wouldn't last long. I had 18s on and soon gave up on them.

17's are best for coupes... 18's can work, but at a push, and with very low profile tyres to avoid rubbing.

It's not the rims that need to fill the arches. It's the tyres.

Mines lowered 40mm, on standard shocks, with black wheels - seems to work and is low and looks low too cool

Not sure, heard the shop drilled the original one´s. Really don´t have much details as don´t speak often with the chap. The result was dissapointing, as can be expected, so they later changed the hubs and fitted the 18" I run now...till monday, when the old good coop wheels come from respray smile

IIRC the Azevs are pretty heavy wheels. 19" would be even more so, having an impact on handling. The Azevs look good though!

I have 18" Azev M's in black...on Eibachs and they catch the arches very slightly on full lock. Rides not bad though and I love the look. 19" would be way too much to live with in my opinion. Can't believe you can get Azev's in England I had to import mine from Germany. :-(

I had 18,s on my le a couple years back, didnt like the ride,felt every pot hole, lock to lock was rubbing aswell as catching the bach archers, now on 17inch wheels, alot better ride comfort.
Cant imagine what 19,s would be like.
