Want the works lowering springs that lower it 1.1". How would I be able to find out if they would work with 19" rims?

What size tire do you have? I've seen the Works Springs on the stock 18" GTS rims and there seems to be enough room for a bigger rim.

The stock tire is 215/45/R18.

Don't actually have a tire yet for it. I am trying to decide to get the 19" or 18". For the 19's they are 19x8.5 so I was thinking of going with a 235/35/19

But do you think I should go with 225/35/19

Just for those who don't know how to read tire sizes, the first number is how WIDE the tire is in millimeters. The second number is the distance from the rim to the end of the tire in millimeters (or how thick the tire is from the rim). The letter represents the type of tire (R = Radial) and the final number represents the size of the rim the tire will fit on in inches.

Back on topic...

It all depends where you live. If you have a lot of smooth paved streets with little to no pot holes, you can get away with the 225(235)/35/R19 because you won't need the extra cushion since it's all smooth driving. If your streets are pretty bad, then I'd stick with the 45's to prevent any rim damage.

Then I moved this to the proper forum. :gunsmilie:
