Janik confuses "like all hell" with "very slightly"

Retap it and use a bigger bolt. Win.

Your 19" tires are definitely at the end of their life. The lack of tread and the numerous heat cycles have made them harsh and loud. It is time to replace them if you plan on keeping the wheels. If not, strip the tires and sell the wheels for a nice amount. Reinstall your 17s and call it a day. Maybe consider picking up a set of the 03/04 coupe 17s which are staggered 7.5" front and 8" rear and running some sticky rubber for the summer

I would suggest upgrading struts too. Tokico blues or D-specs for damper adjustability. 50-60 k on oem struts could be a little on the worn side

I dont wanna run 17s LOL only for winter. THats why i was looking into some 18s.

We will see though. Maybe all it needs is new tires. I figured they were still okay yet though seeing as im not even down to the wear markers yet.

the wear markers= throw away point. When it touches it that means its trash not " i should consider new tires now"

if you want to fix your problem get new tires and shocks.

if you want your GPS from boucing on your chubby... then get a better mount or mount it on your dash.

you ask for help and we gave you the answers and reasoning behind it. We cant make you fix your problem. But really this is what it is and the reason why i did not go with coupe 19's, well the harsh ride and everyone and their momma on this board with a sedan wants/had/has coupe 19's

i roll 350z 18's rays. same lightweight. same offset. hell of a lot cheaper tires. ARGUABLY more cushion, when i ran 265/40 it was decent.

Get some velcro for your Nav. Try new tires before you give up the 19's imo.
