well i got 19/35/215 on my XA and no problems at all. It looks great. Exepct for the fact that after a week of me getting the rims, i chipped the paint nasty on one of them. Me and my horrible luck. Just curious if there is any way to fix chipped rims, and is that a sign of a cheap rim? i used to have fitipaldi poalris rims back in the day and it would get scracthed and all, but never did the silver paint come off. What would be some of the sloutions to this problem ? (other than buying another rim) thanks for your help guys - Igydigitek

by the way, alot of people told me 19's would rub, and i only got a slight rubbing with a peice of plastic on the fender which i was able to cut off with a tiny knife. It was like not even the size of my figner, and i have no negative camber, it rides smooth, and this car looks wwwwwwwwwwaaaaaay better with 215/35/'19's. just thought i would add that in, and oh yea, i dropped it with the tanabe springs. Will post pics soon.

Yep. When I had my 18's it didnt look as if the 19's would fit without being unable to turn the wheel. But, we put them on and they look great. Some said it would be too big for such a small car, but nah, they look just fine.
