what would you do? 17" vs 19"

abhishriv · 11-05-2012, 11:21 AM

i currently have a set of 17" winter rims with blizzaks on them which i have had on my car for a couple winters now. i also have a set of the oem 19" style 230 wheels sitting around in my basement.

recently one of my friends gave me an idea that i should sell my winter set. get my 19s repainted and put winters on those. i have to say im kind of intrigued.. i have to say though that i cant really find the right size winter tires for the stock 19s.

my only problem with the 17s is that i almost always get wheel spin from a stand still on wet roads.. and that they look much smaller and rears look lost in the wheel wells. trying to fix this with spacers.

what would you do?

You can get 235/35/19 winters for the 230.
