Pics of R55/R56 with 19" wheels

Thinking about changing my 18s to 19s on my clubbie, but im little unsure about how it improves the car and how it would look.

Is there anyone here who have pics of a R55/R56 with 19" wheels?

I'm sure there's pics floating around, just do a search (you'd be amazing how much you'd find!). Just remember if you switch to 18's or bigger, you might want to install a steering angle limiter (or something like that)... apparently any factory car with the 18" factory options have those installed.

When I was talking to my service advisor about going to 18"s he said the same thing. It's not so much of a rubbing issue during normal driving (whatever normal is). It's about the leading edge of the tire rubbing the wheel well on a sharp turn. Haven't asked cost but prob not that expensive
