so I have a set of 19s off my old z24. i am having wheel adapters made to convert the reno to 5 lug and was just wondering if anybody has tried to fit a set of 19s on the reno yet. any info is helpful, thanks.
it would fit pretty easily if you got some tires lower than 40. my 205/40/17's had plenty of space until i lowered it...even then, you could take out the wheel wells and roll the fenders up to get the 19's on...i'd be more concerned about getting the speedo calibrated
thanks for the input. my 19s have 35 series on them so, so far so good and we are plannin on doin a widebody neways after the kit gets here. not to concerned with the speedo im kinda used to havin my speedo off considering those 19s were on my cavalier.
i had 18's w/ 1 inch low profile tires and it was a tight fit and rubbed a bit in places... i baught them off a friend and they were warped.... had to get my money back

They may be to big as I know people like zero said they where rubbing with 18" tires
like i said though im gonna do a widebody. so im not to concerned with the rubbing on the fender side. was just tryin to figure out id they would rub on the strut. thanks for the input though. if it doesnt work out ill just sell the 19s and buy some 18s.
Rubbing on the strut should not be a problem cause you can always add a spacer for clearance. I would suggest getting longer bolts if you need to use a spacer or checking the offset of your rims vs factory

First off guys to clear something up 18s will never rub if you have the right offset/width. They are the same overall size with tires as 17s/16/15/14s, if you get the right tires. 18s on our car will use a 35 tire, 17s=40, 16s=45, ect...unless the width is about as skinny as stock or wider than 235mm.
19" will fit fine if you can find a 30 series tire, dont know if they have any in that size. If you put a 185/35/19 or skinnyier on there that will fit okay...or even a 195mm tire should fit okay.
But my question is why the hell would you want 19" wheels on a forenza/reno? It's going to look like crap, KILL any performance you might have had, kill ride quality, and kill your speedo (unless you put extreamly skinny tires on there or find a 30series tire that fits 19").
Also you converting to a 5lug in all the wrong ways. Adaptors/spacers like that are really dangerous and I doubt your wheel studs will last long like that. I can help you out here if you wait. I bought an extra set of hubs on all four corners that I'm having convertied to 5x114.3 lug...once I put those on and see if my current 5lug track wheels fit I'm going to order a set of street wheels...Once i get those I can have my stock hubs converted to 5 lug and sell them to you for time/cost. It's the safe way to do it. Also doing spacer/adaptors adding allot of uneccasary weight.
But on a side note I'm sure people have put 19" on...I know several people that have tried. I know one forenza with 20" wheels on it...needless to say it looks like crap. Though some people like the raised 20" wheel look. Please say you're goign to get a big brak kit too, its just a pet-peeve of mine but with 19" wheels you won't even be able to see the stock brakes, hell they won't work worth crap with such big wheels. All you'll see through the wheels is the ugly wheel liner. blah.
Also how wide are your 19s? cuz either your going to have to space them out furthur (which will look strange) or just get wider wheels once you have the wide body kit. But hey, I'm having a wide body kit made for my car and I wanna sell one other one to offset my cost if your intrested. It's an R34 kit. Sorry I'm bashing so much, I just hate the idea of anything bigger than 18" wheels on our car.
has any one tried to fit 19s yet?
