I don't think anyone has ever put 19"s on an MX-3 and only a handful of people have 18"s on their mx-3's, 18"s barely fit as it is.

Uhh, nobodies bothered to mention rim width/offsets.. I don't know the normal 19" rim's width deminsions, but my guess is it'd be hard to find one, with a correct offset, that would both fit in the fender, (meaning, so it doesn't stick out, like those little ghetto mobiles), and not the INSIDE of the tire to rub. IMO a 19 would look retarded anyways. I've seen MX's with 18's that look good, but they also usually back up that look, with the power to move it as well..

Anyone that can put 19 foot rims on an mx-3 deserves a round of applause!<P>I think jackattack is planning on selling his 18" konig's next year to buy 19's. We'll see!

Well like I said at least to my knowledge no one has ever done this successfully or even attempted to put 19"s on for that matter.<P>It's just not practical at all to do something like that.
