I used a tire comparator and figure you can put 235 30 19 tires on a 914.

I'm looking to get away from the usual Pukes, Riverass and Pudrinis and other dated wheel styles. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)

Who is running modern large wheel systems? Did you feel a difference in handling? Post some pics of you bad boys.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

I'm thinking of putting these 19'ers on..........
