I run 19"s all summer,in the winter switch back to 18" turbo twists. Both sets are hankooks. Yes the 19s are definitely a bit punishing at times,but the trade off is they handle really well. However if were driving a lot off metro,I probally would run 18s or 17s to soften the ride but also give more sidewalk to protect your rims. Just my .02

I found the codes in my maintenance schedule, and entered them here:

There was no mention of suspension when I decoded so I am assuming that it is the stock suspension.
Perhaps 18's will be the way for me to go, too bad, as I love the way that the 19's look on the car.

Happy New Year all! Anyways, what is the stock wheel size and offset (in 18") as well as tire size for a 2001 Carrera 4?
