19's, is it possible? Is it worth it?

If you are saying a R could ever look like a Saxo (no matter what the driver looks like) you are sadly mistaken. :shock:

but that won't stop some people :lol:

One of my old boss's did his apprenticeship with Nissan Motorsport travelling around the rallies working on the pulsars when they were used - he told me they did actually used to use 19's on some stages for sheer grip - however they weren't particularly wide. He also mentioned how they stopped using the R due to the fact it became to difficult to work on and resolve faults at that time on them. He's a very interesting chap and quite informative on the old R.

Not on a WRC car they wouldnt have. Were only allowed 16" max rims due to FIA regs.
