the 19" rim project
Now I know I'm going receive a lot of flack for this, but take notice. Rims came in this afternoon. I bought them for $510 off ebay. I have to take the challenge of fitting these OVERSIZED rims on the 1991 20020v. I will attempt to fit these rims on the front. I've focused on the 215/35ZR/19 front. If all goes well, ill stick to that width hoping not to rub the wheelwells on full turn. STAY TUNED!
the bet is one week before the rims are destroyed!

i am sure they will last longer than that, and with that low of a profile tires, you wont have rub
but a few things, 19's are pointless-
they will make your car slower if anything
they look goofy/rice
running that low profile of a tire raises the chances of beding them with potholes, etc
there's a reason the came from the factory with 15's... 4 inches is too much. 17's max.
good luck either way since u purchased them already.

Re: the 19" rim project(UPDATE!)
its a successful fit! please foregive me for not knowing how to upload/download pics. but i can send the two pics ive just taken with my sidekick II. just tell me where to send , then maybe one of you guys can print it for the 20020v family.
235/35ZR/19 is what we settled on and test fitted.
the rims are motegi. you might find them if you search ebay now. thanx for the support and opinions. now i just have to decide which tire to pick. STAY TUNED!

Re: I would think 225's or 235's would be a better width of tire for an 8in rim.
your correct. according to my tire calculator, the closest ACCURATE tire size would be a 225/35ZR/19. 0.2% too slow. car will really be travelling at 60.1 mph while speedo reads 60mph not bad at all!
