18's to 19's back to 18's

Starting with factory hollow spokes, I "upgraded" to 19" three piece (suspension had already been changed out). They didn't handle or stop as well. The 19" drove the ABS and PSM (which had to be left off at all times) nuts. Too much additional unsprung weight and rotational mass. When everyone stopped making 315x25x19 rears, except Nitto, it was time for a change. HRE forged light weight monoblocks in 18" with just a extra half inch in width with factory spec tires. A world of difference. 19's are for show, 18's are for go.
