Help please: new wheels tomorrow

Hey guys,
I have stock 18's and will be taking delivery of HRE 840Rs tomorrow. They are 19's. I have JIC Cross suspension. Can I just slap my new wheels and tires on (already mounted and balanced) or do I need to have my suspension adjusted for the 19's? My current ride height is not super low so I think the new shoes will fit just fine.

Thanks, I'll post some pictures after they are on!

Just slap them on. You don't need to adjust anything if it's not super low and the offsets are not crazy.

From your avatar the ride height looks pretty low? Hopefully you compensated for the 19s by getting lower profile rubber.

I will be in the same situation in about 3-4 weeks. I have been told that I can go ahead and get my car setup with the stock rims and JIC system now (with alignment set to GT2 specs) and when the 19" wheels come in, it should just be a matter of "slapping them on".

btw, how many shop hours should the shop be charging to install a set of JIC c/o with a rear swaybar?

Nice, the wheels and tires where custom made for GT2 and do have lower profile rubber. I'll take some pics and see what you boys think. Thanks!
