19s on a MKIV

[Manaz]

im running 19's on my mk4 225s at the front & 245's at the back, traction is great! yes handling isnt the greatest. IMO 18's are too small.
after having these wheels on for 4 years the bumps are finally starting to annoy me so i will be going back to standard any time soon.

Handling or comfort isn't the greatest?

I'm probably going with 235/45R17s for my next set of tyres (standard on 17x7.5" wheels is 225/45R17). Tyres are much cheaper in the 235 width than 225 as 235 is much more common due to Falcons/Commodores using it on their 17" rims. There's a 2-3% increase in rolling diameter, but that'll cancel out the speedo error nicely!

you get used to the ride comfort, if you want good looks get 19's..
20's were fine for me.. as long as u dodge the massive pot holes its all sweet.
