19's probably will not fit, they will rub against the spring perchmost likely.

However, if it does fit, I would fo for 215/35/19

get some srt struts.. they spring perches are higher on them then sxts and r/ts ...that would be ur best bet if u want get 19's

as far as i know..eve to get 18's fit 205/35/18's

if u wanna go 19's prob have to do 205/30/18's but that would be like drivig on a rubberband.. actually i dont even know if they make that size..

best bet is srt struts
hmmmmm

They do make 30 series tires. When I worked in a tire shop for a while, a Lambo came in with 20 series tires. :shock:

Since you said SRT struts have higher sprng perches. Then I would definately consider it.

Why?
for the Bling?
tests state that anything bigger than a 17" wheel is useless....no Perf gain no handling gain etc....
You want 19's F-it spend the money and go for 20's w/ spinners, if they can fit on a grand am, they definately can fit a neon...
But what's the point except for the bling factor.....more wheel more weight...slower car...etc....
proper ride height and a sweet set of 16's or 17's and your set to roll

I was bored and did a PS of my car without paying much attention to the wheels, all I did was make my stock ones 20% larger and I liked the look, so I figured out that 20% larger is around 19s

Ok, well you can do 19's but get something better looking than that (I realize those are just stockers just to get an idea) and then definatley get it lowered. Then you'll be big pimpin.

Yeah I would definitely not get stock look, but its hard to accurately get a size using other pictures because my camera has such a high resolution and the pics are so big. I think before I start buying rims I'm going to drop the car first, unless a good deal comes along.....

Just thought this might help the conversation here. Found this neon while looking around the net.

http://www.modifiedcars.com/cars/10038.htm

Says he has "19 Konig's with 215/35/19 Tires.

Who knows how it rides, but they are on there.

sorry...
anyways....
As stated aboe check your clearence's...actually try this......
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/SelectTir ... toModClar=

The problem is they show upto 17's and the recomended size tire with that.....
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direc ... vid=007252
Now they atleast have options up to 18's with a description of offset etc...maybe 19's are to big to fit under there......
