i believe it. the last car i had 19's on was my g35 coupe and that thing was already a slow turd and adding heavier wheels with more rotational mass made it feel even slower. 19's aren't for performance, that's for sure. it's all about the bling bling. luckily this is a turbo car so adding extra power is super easy. get a cobb ap

You need to lower your car with either H&R sport springs - OR, if you have the money - KW V1xi coilovers.

This reply has nothing to do with the floaty feeling. Have you checked to see if your size tires are within the 1% rotational difference. Wondering this as I was told you had to run either 265 or 275's when running 235 fronts.

First of all, you should pair a 30 series tire in the rear with a staggered setup and 35 series tire up front
Second of all, your tire sizes are all sorts of out of whack. You're rolling at a 2% difference in rolling diameter. You need to be below 1% to avoid blowing your transfer case. I'd fix your tire sizes, and fast...235/35/19 front with 265/30/19 rear |

You asked for help, they gave you a solution, now you tell them they are wrong?

I had no idea the effects of tires have on a car. I mixed run-flats with non-runflats on my E90. I had the run-flats in the front and man!!... The car did the swerve thing you talk about at speeds over 60mph. I had to drive with both hands and people prob thought I was drunk. Major over-steer. Use the tire sizes above and you will be happy. You have to pay money to fix mistakes.

There are a couple people in this thread that have a lot of experience and all agree and you are choosing to ignore. Buy new tires and save yourself an expensive headache. |
