Am I...no but I have seen xD's on 19's. You will have rubber band type tires but it should be doable without mods.

With rolled 245's you should be ok, what is the offset of the rims?

I'm running 245/40R17's and no I dont rub... but my wheel specs are 17x8 +35 offset, if you aim for a +40 offset on the 16's you should be fine

I have air ride on my xD right now so clearance is not an issue for me. I just wasn't sure what size tires to get or how the ride would be with 19's because it's already a lil' rough with the bags. I have 17's on there now but I wanna go bigger.

Increased roughness of ride, higher chance of curb rash, and their is also the risk of a blown tire or bent rim goes up as well... but you gotta pay to play.

Theres a guy around here running 20"s on his xD and he lives in a rougher part of the state, said the rides a lot rougher, but he hasnt had any problems yet as far as i know... just windshields falling off from 157dB stereo.

Wheel and Tire Size Calculator

Id try that out to get an idea of what size tire / rim offset youre going to be wanting to run on 19s. those calculators are the best thing ever invented as far as a general guideline goes

those tires will work, and if im not mistaken the bolt pattern for the tC is the same as a xD, but do you happen to know the offset?

Yea you'll be fine with stock tc wheels and stock tc tire sizes. offset is slightly higher than the xd's stock, but hte rim is also a little wider so it all balances out. stock tc rims actually look pretty good on our cars

No I don't and have no idea what the offset is, it is for the car or for the wheels? I can ask the guy sale the wheels

I love those Tc wheels. I have a new option and it appears there is a supply of them out in the internets.

Looking to run some 235/50's I would like to stick with some 16's but the tire options are kinda slim unless I bump up to some 17's. I will probably have to limit my drop though because of tire size and go with something minor like some TRD springs.
