I was going to get the the Konig trouble rims for my car.. Just wondering if any one is sporting these rims and if there is any rubbing from it being lowered. I was going to get the 19x8 rims, is that a good choice? Any help would be appriciated.



Thanks

I'm still riding stock, but I've done plenty of research.

If you have rough roads around you, go with 17s.

If you have smooth, well-maintained roads, 18s are good.

19s rub, so I would suggest going a little smaller.

with 19's as long as you get the right offset you wont hav rubbing.

I have 19x8 with 38mm offset and i dont have rubbing.

you can also find 19x7.5 rims with anywhere from +40 to +42 offset without rubbing.

Also i lowered on tein and tokicos with 200lbs of stereo eqiupment in the trunk and haven't had any problems.
