New Wheels for '02 Dodge Intrepid

[kicker06 10+ year member]

Hey, I am looking at upgrading from my stock 16" steel rims on my 2002 Dodge Intrepid SE to 19" wheels and tires. I would need both wheels and tires for the car, preferrably in a bundle.

Can anyone direct me to a good and reliable internet website/company that you can order wheels and tires from? With good prices of course?

Any insight is helpful. Also, I know of http://www.tirerack.com and the wheels there are all ricey.

Thanks!

That doesn't leave that much profile. I defiantly can live with 19s and that is 1 more inch closer to a better ride/not bending the rim with potholes (live in ATL, lots of potholes).

Deuces = 22's

DO NOT buy from superbuytires.com

I can link you to MANY horrible experiences with them.

try wheelmax.com. Wheelsnext.com Rimshop.com Rimstop.com

You can run a 245/35/20 on your car and it would have a larger sidewall then any tire you can put on 19s. There really isn't much (if any) difference between the typical 19" tire vs. the 20" tire.

If you want a meatier tire, look at 18s.

u can run 20'' rims and 255/35/20 on them and still have room

i would stay with the 19's, get bigger profile on the tires

Look at discounttiredirect.com...I know a guy over there that could get you a 5-10% discount. I could find his email address if you'd like

Also, I think these 19s would look nice and clean on the Intrepid

Oh and 245/40 19 is very close to stock diameter so that is another plus of going 19 instead of 20+

i would go with 20's i know out here 19's are usually alot more expensive than 20's and personally i think it would look better

I am probably buying a GTI, so rims would be pointless.
