'84 Nissan S12 Turbo
I am considering replacing my 124's for a set of staggered 19's on my '06 550 sport.
My biggest question/ concern is......will the 19's cause the car to look lifted on the stock sport suspension?
Several years ago I went from 15's to 17's on my old nissan maxima and it made it look super lifted on the stock springs. Forced me to get lowering springs sooner than I wanted
Don't want to be in the same boat with the 550. I know 19's are an option on the 550 with sport suspension...so I'm thinking it might be ok for a while, but not sure.
Thanks for any info

IMO, it won't give it a lifted look....check my gallery...I went from 124's to 19" 166's on sport suspension. I think it looks good without a drop,....
