Thanks for the input.

bobcrusader, first off that is the nicest ralliart ive seen with rims. Well done. Second did those 19" effect your speedo, if so how did u correct the problem?

I dont with to lower the car because of future strut problems ect. And im sure after a while I wouldn't enjoy the ride. Im going to hold back and put further research into the matter to see if i go for 18"s or 19"s.

Honestly, I don't see ANY advantages of going 19". Aesthetics and performance are shot out the window, in my opinion.

Get a lower profile tire to get the overall diameter as close as ur stock one.

Speedo is about the same, since I went to 35 profile tyres.

Get decent adjustable coilovers and you never need to worry about height or ride quality. Run them high and loose for the road and low and tight for the track.

Hi!

I want to put 19īs under my ralliart. What is best offset with 8x19 rims?? Car will be lowered. Tyres will be 225-235/35-19.
I think 8,5x19 rims would be too wide... or need some arch work..

Thanks for the info!

Do you have any picture of your car with those rims and lowering springs??
What H&R springs you have?? Part number??
Because we got Ralliart model so late here in Finland, itīs almost impossible to find lowering springs yet.

Hello. check out the link and you'll see pictures. I bought H & R springs for an ordinary Lancer Sportback 2wd. Fits perfect, but is not really suited for mass etc. But it is terribly range of Ralliart parts of Sweden so you have to buy what is available. Is so damn expensive for us to buy from the U.S. otherwise I would have done it directly.

Dan your Ra looks really good! What did you use to plug up the holes left by the rear spoiler?
