    Has anyone experienced any issues with putting 19's on a 550?

    Does it change the car at high speeds or air intake?

    Any rubbing?

    I had 19 HRE's on my 550 and they were a quantum leap in terms of improving handling. I had big brakes and handling package. You need to be careful on the offsets

    I found that the wider rear tires (335/25/19) really improves traction in lower gears. Absolutely no clearance issues with these.

    19" wheels on mine with spacers and big brake kit. Again it is a world of diff. No ride problems. It is much more stable at speed. Go for it.

    So can you just place 19's on the car?
    Do you need spacers?
    Do you need to have it checked out by a mechanic for camber?
