From experience, do not get 19s
Tire selection stinks and is very pricey. Just got 4 235/55/19 installed at tire kingdom 960$. I’m in the market for 17s with a bigger tire.
lol... While moose hunting in the Canadian North, in my stock V with its original BFG Touring radials, I once went in about a mile on a freshly bulldozed logging road, and that was after 2 days of steady rain.
The road ended, so I had to turn around - in the mud, lol. They were saying, back at camp, that no one could be foolish enough to go down that road. That's when I told them that I had just done it. (no moose tracks there, btw, the moose had more sense, lol )
No one at camp believed me that the V went in - and that it came out, lol, but, next day, the tire tracks did not lie.
Apart from some emission control parts that I found on my way back, lol, it was quite the adventure. Cost me about a grand to fix the ill placed EC stuff that Honda packs near the rear axles and which had torn off
Gotta say tho, best money I've ever spent - and that's why I use the ToyAbuser nic, lol
Yeah, thats mighty agressive looking. Definalty a 5 star ride.
Ritch...
Oh yeah, if your insurance askes if you want to insure your wheels, do it. They asked me yesterday, and I said no, and last night, I broke 2 wheels and busted 2 tires. Road construction company did not merge 2 roads together right and there was a 3 inch rise from one road to the other with a sharp edge on it and I got it good. $1600 damage for 2 replacement wheels and 2 tires. Ouch!

I can empathize with your monetary loss but I just don't get those type of wheels for anything other than show. I think that would happen weekly here with the sad state of road conditions given the abusive winter. Wasn't the ride rather harsh...just curious?
I have to admit, the ride was still about the same. Honda rode great before and after the wheels. The only thing that bothered me was the tires were loud like mud tires. On a good note, they are accepting the fault (rare) and they are cutting me a check for the $1600.
There are places where they fix rims; look fo one locally so you do not have to pay shipping.
I slightly bent one rim and was fixed for $80, you may be able to fix them and save a ton of money and even if you fix one keep it as spare.
I had 20's on my 99 V and they pulled on grooved roads bad. If you rode weight in the back, they'd rub. Big rims not for me on V's. I'm shooting for some BFG long trail 225/75/15 on stock steelies (painted black)
