I've seen an S14 on 19" wheels. Not sure if the fenders had to be rolled, but I wouldn't be surprised. As for tire size, I have no idea. You may want to have this topic moved to the Tire & Suspension forum.

So, yes, it can be done, depending on the size and offset of the wheel.

Keep in mind that these wheels are probably going to weigh a ton and actually make your car slower. Also, the low profile tires you'll need to run will make you more susceptible to pot hole damage.

umm, they will fit fine as long as he runs the right tires. They may be slightly larger than stock but whatever. Hell, he could raise the car and put some 24s on there if he wanted.

But yeah, I would not reccomend getting 19s for a 240. 17 is as big as I would go.

Ive seen a kouki with 20's it looked like it was raised an inch or two So i don't see why you couldn't put 19's on there. Didn't House of Kolor put 19's on one of therre green 240's?

I have 18s and the car is lowered a little more than an inch and it looks ok. I want 17s instead. Rubbing will depend on how low the car is droped, chamber, offset and width of the rim.

I've seen it. 19" Does Fit. Fenders do need to be rolled, at least if you ever want to drive on regular roads

Sorry, but I'm shutting this one down before it gets ugly. Nineteens on a 240 are not recommended, but it doesn't mean you can't do it.
