There I fixed it.

It's all in personal preference.
While I don't care for the choice in wheels, it's not my car...can't change the owner's mind.
We are however...stating facts about the extra strain it would put on the car. Wheel size doesn't however dictate axle geometry...that would be mounts/spring choice, etc. The larger wheels weigh quite a bit more than factory wheels...which means more rotating mass, which means less go fast.
10-21-2013
And a LOT more unnecessary wear on the entire car!
I just hate to see any car or truck abused, and any wheel more than 4-6" larger than OEM is abuse.
10-21-2013
4-6? 19's are tops for these cars.
Also, let me apogize for not thinking it through last night and insulting you as a person.
Still though, op. You need to pick one; fast, or wheels.
you can do wheels and go fast parts. IMO the idea is retarded. You basically have a stock car with the combo. As far as transmissions go? Yeah, your going to run through them double time.
10-21-2013
If i were closer to you I'd run ya.... not near stock but for fun :P
10-21-2013
I intended that as generally speaking.
But yes, your right. I would go as far as saying ill never run bigger than an 18 and wouldn't advise anyone else to do it either.
10-21-2013
no plm. you were drunk. I apologize for making my comment as well. Id hope if i said something while i drunk someone else wouldnt take offense. For that i apologize. However to be honest i dont really want to fast fast i love the car how it sits now. I am well aware of the strain it causes on the car, but to me thats all apart of the car scene as a whole anyway. Only regret i have right now is gettings rockers instead of a cam....
10-21-2013
to be honest i race for fun anyway. i just like speed as a whole. The only reason i posted to this is because i know how heavy the wheels are. I know they hold me back quite a bit. I just want to know am i at least back to what id run without them on.
10-21-2013
Also don't worry about it being 04+ only(to race). You didn't mention if you were S/Ced so I assume you're not. So any N/A 97+ is pretty comparable. I think the series II went from 195 to 200 HP somewhere late in its production before series III, but still they're nearly the same.

sorry forgot to mention that i am supercharged... But at my current rate i ll take any supercharged near stock car lol win or lose just want to see what i stack up at.

Maybe try to find a happy medium maybe downsizing the rims to let's say 20s, lower the car and then mod as you were planning. Should still be quicker then stock with not as much strain as your currect rims are probably doing.
10-21-2013
wheels stay with strain lol. just gonna mod/fix stuff they break. Yes i like them that much. What i can say its a MIAMI thing lol
10-21-2013
Will the wheels help on the freeway though? Compare his RPMs at 70mph and the same car with stock wheels at the same speed. I wonder how mileage is affected, I'm sure a little better.
10-21-2013
I,like them... Everything u guys have said I ve already,known... ,n tea I get sht,mileage... However no matter what they arent comin off... Call it a miami thing
10-21-2013
I'd bet a stock GenIII car will beat your GenV car with those wheels.
Just saying.
10-22-2013
Id love to find out... I disagree with u though.... I think 04 would,beat... Bht,not the,earlier gen
