Worth while to switch over stock 18 “to 19 “rims and tires?

Thanks guys, Actually considering the Nismo 19 " rims, but are there any real advantages going with the 19" for regular street and winding Pocono mountain roads? Alex

Well going with those 19's you will be upgrading the width of your wheels which will be a benefit for mountain roads in terms of traction. I doubt the diameter increase will do anything performance wise. The ride isn't that bad going from 18-19 on our cars, but 18 to 20's is a big difference in roughness.
