Anybody running 19"

Here's the deal, I am after the most comfortable ride possible. Right now with the 18" stock the ride is great. I do want to upgrade to some nice chrome wheels. From what I have been told going to 20" can be a little rough on bad backs, but the look is great. I have found some nice 19" wheels and thought this would be a good compromise in looks vs comfort. Thinking I would not be giving up much in ride quality and still get a better than stock look. So anybody run 19" or would I be the first. I would put on 255/50 all around or 285/45 on the rears only.

255/50 sounds good. Do you have a link to the wheels? I'd like 5 spoke chromed or highly polished wheels that don't have really wide spokes.

This is the one I found and like, I think there are a few more styles.
I like that these come in 8" and 10" width in case I run wider in the rear.

Have you checked to see if those wheels are available in the 5x115mm bolt patern? Don't let them (or anyone else) talk you into settling for 5x114.3mm.

That's the thing I hate about some of those wheel web sites... they don't provide enough information to make an informed purchase decision.

I totally understand. Some list like 130 wheels that fit the Magnum, your lucky if two have the correct 5x115 pattern.
