Default lowering & wheel size question.

I have 18" wheels right now, and I want to lower my car. In the future I want to get 19" wheels... will I have to raise my car a little when I get the 19" wheels or will the car remaiin the same height? I am guessing if I go with a wider 19" wheel I may have to raise it because it may rub the fender...

Depends on too many factors:

Size (width and sidewall) of Tire
Offset of Wheel
Width of Wheel
Amount of Suspension Drop

I am having my P lowered right now....have 18" . Depending on how much you go "down"..I am having H&R's installed (1.25 lower) and they told me there would be no problem putting 19" on.....

Yes, you can easily run 19s with correct offset and appropriate tires.

just got my P lowered...1.25" with H&R springs and there is enough space left for 19" wheels. Would even look a little better with 19"......but my front turbo conversion is first!
