Well, it's about time to start this tread:

19" rollers on Paceman.

I'll be the first. Just got a like new set of OEM rims and tires (R129 dark metallic gray/ Pirelli PZero 225/40/19). Going on the car in few weeks (as soon as it gets warmer)....

Well, the rear wheel is just leaned against my winter 17", not tucked under the fender... That's maybe the reason...

Yup!
Actually, I was looking at the photos of your car with these wheels for the longest time. Other one was that black CM from Alberta with the same rims...
Thanks for inspiration!

What size tires you're running? Any feedback?

I'm actually running 45's on mine to give me a little more meat to combat the potholes around here. Plus they fill the wheel well nicely without looking oversized truck tires. I think they ride great.

I know Benty has 40's on his which are lower profile and look great.

.
Any rubbing?
Issues with speedo?

I got my set with OEM 225/40/19 RF but eventually might go non RF route (if I find the buyer for OEM Pirellis)...

No rubbing whatsoever, though I'm on stock suspension.

I believe my speedo might be off slightly.

Well, I see from your signature you ride on 16s... Any diameter larger than that will feel like flinstone mobile... Nothing wrong with that... As long as car is not lowered....

But driving that paceman was a shock. It was
The owners , he just traded it in for a 2014,

Before I purchased my Paceman I test drove the 18’s and 19’s on sport suspensions and I felt very little difference between the two with regards to ride, both had an extremely harsh ride. Then I drove the standard suspension with 18’s the ride quality was good, so I thinking the 19's will also ride good with standard suspension.
