Re: 19" wheels
there is 1 guy that has 19 and yea they do fit BUT WHY? truely anything after 17s isnt gonna help your performance at all, unless your going for looks, but even still its a sports car not a luxury car, if your doing looks i still say 17-18s are the way to go anything higher is just rediculus

Re: 19" wheels
a guy here tried to put his friends 19's on his mx-3 just to see and when he let the jack out the car didn't settle the fenders were resting ON the rims and it wasn't going anywhere
now this car has lowering springs(I believe he has Intrax) and Zx2 Struts but still it would not settle

Re: 19" wheels
Yes 19 inch rims will fit, you just have to get the proper ones, with the proper width and off set and back spacing, not all rims are the same, a stock 15 inch rim and tire has a total diamiter of 24 inches(approx) so you could put a set of 20 inch rims with a tire that only has a 2 inch sidewall and that would be 24 inch diamiter, the same as stock.
A proper tire store should measure your car to get the proper back-spacing and off-set measurements and they can tell you if they have a rim and tire comb that will fit.
Also remember, if they dont carry a 19 inch rim that will fit your car then they may tell you " sorry 19 inch wont fit on your car, but we have a nice set of 18 or 17 inch rims right here in stock" just to get a quick sale insted of sending you to a store that can get the proper sized rim, or special ordering you the proper rim.

yes 19" wheels will fit on your car i have a set of 19"x8 axis spyders with 215 35 19" rubber
Re: 19" wheels
I got 18*7.5, and they rubbed a bit. Just had to cut some fender out and it is fine. If I had it to do again I would not get 18s, I would get 17s. The ride is not that great, and I have to watch every single damn bump in the road. I already put a fat dent in one, and that hub is now outta whack.
