Message A list of things to be warned about on 19s:

1) Very thin sidewalls are needed for it to fit properly. That means a pothole can = bent rim very easily.
2) If you don't nail the offset and tire sizing perfectly, it will likely rub. You'll need to roll the fender and even then some people have still had problems.
3) Cost for tires pretty high but some people clearly don't mind that :)
4) And even some purists think that heavy/bling 19s are a bit much on a sports (GT) car.

Surely, it can be done and has been done (Andy's TT with Racing Hart M5s is sweet) but usually it's not recommended. Or shall I say, not recommended for the faint of heart heh.
