I have 19" wheels on my 90 classic.
The only thing I dislike is the bump steer and the way it finds all the dips in the road. The truck has a tendency to pull and your fighting the steering wheel.
I do prefer a firm ride, thus I have the red poly bushings, Bilstein, and Bearmach big blue springs.
My wheel adapters came from the UK 2 years ago, I specifically asked to get them hub centric and they are.
My wheels are from a 2004 RR with Goodyear Wrangler tires. These are the ones that got the bad press on the newer Rover, haven't had an issue with them.
In fact, they are great wet and dry weather street tire.
If you don't have a lift, and just old springs, the wheels will rub the front air dam.
This shouldn't be an issue with your air suspension though, just a comment to those with worn out stock height shocks/springs.
I love the way the truck handles, like a slot car given its heft. I'm glad I didn't get swaybars like I wanted before with my stock 16" 3 spoke wheels.
I have no desire to add swaybars witht the 19" wheels, but I would love to find an alignment shop that could eliminate the bump steer issue.
I do have a Bilstein steering damper, and poly bushings for it, all new tie-rods, drop arm rebuilt, rear SLU ball joints. So I'm not sure what is the issue, but I'd love to hear some suggestions.
Hope this helps,
Eric D.
