Hi guys.I have an opportunity to buy really cheap 19" wheels.I am wondering are they going to fit on the car?What tires i need to make it fit?
Right now I have 225-35-18.And they are perfect.Just wondering how it will look with 19" wheels.Anyone have any experience?

I think it will look 'over-wheeled' on 19's imo.
Tyres are an issue as ideally you would need a 215 30 19 but this size doesn't exist.
The nearest I can find is 215 35 19 which is just under an inch bigger than stock tyres.

Might be worth comparing rolling radius on those compared with the standard tyres. Any increase will affect your ride height and speedo reading.

Also the offset/ET. Changes to that will affect scrub radius. That can lead to interesting steering characteristics such as sensitivity to bumps and tramlining.

Just checked diameters...

205/50R16 = 611mm
215/30R19 = 612mm
225/35R18 = 615mm

They look nice. It is worth doing a trial fit of the wheels and checking the fronts on full lock both directions and ideally at different suspension drops before you buy tyres - that way you will know if the wheels are OK at least and should get an ideal of any problems that may crop up with tyres fitted.

I'm still looking past the car at the garage. So clean, and big...

Is it just me?

That is one lovely Coupe though....
