Biggie size rims - photos and stats if you have them
 
Yes I understand large diameter rims on SC and up 911's rub some people and body work the wrong way. But my project car came with a set of 19's and I'm half thinking of trying them out. So if you have pictures of 911's with 17+ rim diameter's I'd be curious to see what is out there; if you have tire sizes and rim sizes to go with the pic's that would be even better. I did a search and couldn't find much.

Is the car a widebody? What width are the wheels?

80SC with 17's
 
Here is my 80SC with 17's 225/275.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1211053217.jpg

19s!!! Damn. That's gonna look...well...interesting.

Why not just go with 22's and put a lift kit on as well!:D

Do what you like... People told me my 914 would look stupid with 18's and that they'd never fit. I have 18x8.5 in the front and 18x10's in the rear under normal flares. I love the way the car looks. Just my $0.02 SmileWavyhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1211059016.jpg

I was thinking more along this path with RSR body.. Rims are 19x9.5 and 12 car has turbo flares.. thinking of full rsr wide body as I'm down to a shell. You kaboys trying to lift everything... I suppose you'd like chrome spinners too with 400 lbs of stereo equipment and neon glow lights beside the oil lines ;)
These are what came with it. I think 17's would be great but I'm just curious as I have these things. I've collected some other random pics such as below

These are 9&11x18. I would prefer 17s but nobody makes the right size tires.
18s are the limit IMHO, 19s are too large a circle on the old school chassis.
Because you already have 19s I would at least mount them and have a look before going to the trouble and expense of purchasing smaller diameter wheels.
