Make a trip to northern Alberta, then you will experience shit roads. GVA roads are like glass whenever I drive down. Anyways, I drive shit Alberta roads on 35 series tires with no problems, you can go with 30's easily.

im running 19x8.5 and 19x10s with 235/35/19 and 275/30/19s...roads in vancouver are okay for this setup...granted i dont have super cheap rims, bumps here and there haven't killed my rims yet....just try to avoid big holes when you can...or take them slow. 3yrs now for me...and nothing yet. *knock on wood*

go to greens and instead of spending the 1000+ on cheap wheels that may look tacky on a classic legendary car....i would rather widen ur current rims....
