Now whether or not those are needed on a street car with stock brakes is a different story. |

they use MUCH lighter wheels and actually need the large disks....because like you said, they are racing.

I only had the 19's cuz they were on the car when I bought it. they can use the larger wheels beacuse they have ALOT more power, and huge brakes. it also gives them a better final drive ratio for top speed.

you guys...
are soo against 19s it cracks me up..
there really isnt any more deficit to running an 19 than an 18 if you are running the right tire, suspension etc... they dont weight a whole lot more either... our 19" te37's are about 18.1lbs... the combination isnt much different than stock, feel-wise, ride quality on our sti is actually improved over the stock tires... ive done extensive shock, spring, tire, etc testing in various cars (chadblock.com) and im very critical of this stuff..... Some people do it just for bling you are right, others like my personal cars and the cars we build, do it for many reason, looks is just one of them... i agree on a subie, 19's are on the large side....but u cant say they are too big.... chad b chadblock.com cbrd |

by the way..
most racing series limit tire sizes in order to limit brake sizes..
we used 18;s on the alms cars, and would go larger if they allowed.... increasing the sidewall stiffness almost always produces a better handling car if the compound can handle the increased load transfer. chad b |

we are all..
we are all entitled to our opinion....
ill make sure to post pics when our car is done, so that u can see it...on coilovers, with 14" brakes etc etc... i can tell u from experience about the mass....on a street car...its not a big deal...at the track maybe...but if i went to the track i wouldnt be running a street wheel/tire combination to begin with... i can notice 10lbs of cross weight in a race car...on the street... you weigh 200 i weigh 155, there is a difference also... unless its huge reciprocating mass, u wont notice a difference.... anyway.. like i said..we are all entitled to our opinions...hell i could say 17 's are WAY too small...but i dont... chad b cbrd chadblock.com |

19's are KIDDIE....100% plain, pure, and simple.
Anybody that thinks ANY Subaru needs 19's has bought the brainwashing that is FAR-FAR too prevelant in our society, today. You are looking to get your ego's stroked by 'lookin' koo'....and THAT is kiddie....and you fell for it |
