213, 19" on a lowered Eclipse? Posted by GSwede96, Dec-14-00 05:46 AM
I am gettin sponsors for my car and I have been promised 19x8 HRE 543 on it...I am just a little bit nervous if I can fit them in at all..anyone goes with 19" over there? If so..did it work without mods on the fender edge or did oyu have to roll out the edges? Any info is appreciated!!!

I have seen 19's on a lowered Eclipse but that's it I don't know how they got them on or anything I just know it's possible. I wouldn't go with that much rim, it get heavy at 18+ inch rims

hmm..well I have to...on any showcar you know these days its minmum 18 inch..if you want to be alittle special you go on 19-20"....if not youre just one of the others.And since they are free for me I thought I would go with 19...could look relly cool:-))) Since I dont race witht he car I dont need to worry about weight or handling with those..if I race I use mu regular 17":ers

I've seen more than one with 19s and they were street driven so its possible. With proper tire selection overall diameter shouldn't change much. HRE only makes custon to order rims (at least they used to) so they should have the offset right. You obviously need coilovers since your car is for show. You'll need to slam it to the ground anyway at shows then raise it to your desired height on the street.

i have 19x8 konigs with 225/35 Nitto 555s. i cut the rear fenders a few millimeters when i had 18s because im down about 2.5 inches. you cant cut more than a centimeter without splitting the weld on the fender. just make sure you get the offset right because if the wheel is outside the fender lip you wont be able to correct the camber without crushing the rim on the fender. and get 35 series tires obviously.
