TurboLancer Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 The bigger wheels will increase the travel needed for one wheel rotatation. Also, the rims are going to be heavier, which is going to add rotating mass. If you keep the total szie(ie Diameter of the wheel/tire combo) close, you should have to much of a problem. If your getting 19's though, it sounds like you are going for show, not go, so i wouldnt worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphries Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 well a body kit wont do anything.. get some 16x7s if you wanna track your car and if you want the car to look good then get a lip kit. body kits mess up the body lines on hondas..
