Personally for a DD Cab the largest wheel I would go is 17. But that's just my personal preference for a DD. The ride will be a little harsh with 18's on a Cab.

not sure what tire you could run on a 19 anyway - too large of an outside diameter



i have 18s and i have to say that even though i went with a very light wheel, custom made to fit the car, once tires were mounted, i was pretty much right back where i started, and too much load for the stock suspension - the added grip of the new tires, in a then larger size than stock, presented even more complications, requiring more suspension change



it can be done, and i am reasonably satisfied with the ride, but i also have at least 15k into the entire setup to get it that way - still though, if i could find a 17" tire in the size and profile i wanted, i'd go back to 17s

Don't want 19"... the link for the 18's was dead, but that was the exact same rim model, so just a visual reference... trying to get a fell for the rim, maufacturer and dealer... seeing if anyone had Cheers or Jeers for them...

If your looking for that 3 piece look, you can get that look with the 993 Targa rims which are 17".
