Hey there guys i want to put 19 incn anix spiders do they have gun metal grey? I was just wondering would I still rub with a 2 inch drop. Can i still ride around with 4 or even five poeple and a stereo system. What are the pros and cons with 19. Anybody regreat putting 19 inch rims and wish they went with 18 inch rims .Thanks for any info . Is there a Houston Scion Club ? :D

they are alot heavier, skinny tires=rough ride, decrease performance, decrease gas milage. i think 19's look sick don't get me wrong but before you buy them you should investigate. if roads in your town are rough, then you better chalk it. performance is an issue (gas milage, speed) chalk it. 19's are good if you have good roads or it is a show car. with 4-5 passengers i would like to think you would have rubbing issues.

i agree with nc. 19 are pretty much for show on a scion. Is your car an everyday driver? If so i would go with 18's. Also, what type of driving do you do i.e. do you drive fast over bump, potholes, etc? Also think of the price of your tires. with those size you may pay more than for 18 depending on manufacturer.

mr brother has 19 axis spiders with 4 10" subs with spy drop well in the front the box was to heavy to put the spring in the back with the box and 4 people the back wheels where tucked no rubbing but sagging ___ when he turns all the way to 1 side for a u turn or whatever the front right rim rubs one the plactic but other then that everthing is great pm me for n-e questions

personally i think 19's are too big..

they fill up the fenderwell dope, but they are much taller than stocks or 18's and raise the car up too much for my taste, plus they knock your speedo/odo way off

i think 18's are perfect, that's what i run, but 19's do look sick - just can't get teh car low enough for my taste...

Yeah what he said!! 19s look nice when then fender gap is no more. For more a show look i preferr 18 with lip. Even though I'm on 18s now, if i can do it over again, and when i finally get my new rims.. 17's will be my choice..

The ride with the 18s and 35 series tire isnt great.

19's are no problem. i love the huge wheels. but like they sed before, it raises the car a lot, so if u like it slammed, go with a smaller wheel with a large lip. BUT...doesnt mean 19's cant have a nice lip...heres a pic

Agreed. They can look sick if you have the right stance in addition to a good wheel width/offset combination... but I honestly haven't seen any that have blown me away with the exception of this: http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9056

pros: looks and stares by people if your car is done right

cons: heavy price on tires and heavy price on rims.

the other con: 100 hp and 4 boat anchors attached to each corner of your box :wink:

i have 19's motegi's on my lava lowered in eibach's with no probs at all. wheels only weight about 21 lbs. The wheel weight its a large issue and having a nice ridding tire.

Maybe if your gonna get some extremely light wheels get something in a 16", but its your performance your playing with, do what you can deal with. And as a daily driver with people, with low profile tires, it could become a burden.
