Is a 19 inch rim and a 50 series tire going to mess up my odometer much?
Thanks.

If you want the 50-series and 19" combination, you'll have to go with either a 225/50-19 or 235/50-19. But I don't think that any manufacturers have tires in that size. You'll probably have to go with a wider and lower aspect ratio (series) tire. I think that the standard tire diameter for the Element is 28".

Yes it will........Perrilli scorpions in 255 50 19 are the ticket if you ask me.......problem is rims.......check out this web site for size info compared to stock

those tires are 4.3% to slow......you will be doing 62.6 mph when really you are doing 60 mph

Find some hot 19 rims and let me know please! EE
