Newbie wheel questions, help!

Buying a set of 19" Racing Hart R5's from another boarder tomorrow. Want some questions answered if possible before making the purchase...

-I drive like a grandma, how many miles can I get on a decent set a tires?

-How will putting 19" wheels affect my mileage as opposed to stock 17s? Really badly?

-If Im not planning to drop, then all I need is an alignment and balancing without any camber adjustment?

Thanks!

Depends on the tire. Each one has a wear rating, do a little research and you'll get an idea.

You shouldn't notice much of a change. When your wheels get bigger the sidewalls of the tires gets smaller. The overall tire height should be close to the same as stock.

Correct.
