Alloys - 17s vs 19s

[irish al]

Lots of people have said that putting 19s on a subaru was stupid and the car wouldnt handle properly. Well Ive had mine on for the past 9 months and I bet it has handled as well as any another subaru with the same power/mods, and in my opinion probably better. I just seems to sit well on the road.

Reason I think its better is Ive just put my original 17s back on while the others get refurbed and I hate the way the car goes arround the corners now. It feels so spongy whith more roll and there is no way I feel as confident with it. To be honest I can wait to get the 19s back on.

Obviously the 19s are wider and the tyre wall is not as deep which helps but I forgot how much I hated the 17s in the first place.

I still wouldnt do a track day with the 19s on but Ive never had any problems on the road when my right foot gets itchy.

I know there are a few with 18s on but does anyone else have 19s on thier scooby.

Used to have 19's on my old RB5.

 Loved them, although a PITA to clean. Never took the car round corners like i should have, but i knew i could rub the rim, as the sidewall wasso small. Even with the 18's just now, i can get the wheel to touch the road.[:S]
