I've seen 19s on a rex, but they definitely looked ridiculuous. The kid who had them "thought" they were the greatest thing... the only catch to them is that the thickness (or thinness) of the rims. Most 19s are 8" or 8.5" These rims where aerospeed gstd's and are only 7" wide... oh and he was running on 215/30 tires... (nothing like buying new tires at every oil change). All just to keep from rubbing...
