so i had 17's on my cav and i decided to take the 19's off of my neon and put them onto my cavalier. Well i did it and it was fine for about a mile and then it started making a thumping noise whenever i dont give it gas. Does anyone know if maybe it is rubbing or something isnt put on right? thanks guys
oh and also i had spacers on the front w/ the 17's but i forgot to put them on with the 19's would this do anything as well?
What is your offset on your 19s, and what kinda spacers did you have before? Also go ahead and check how tight all your lugs are.

it sounds too me that your lugs have come untightened, i have had that prob in the past and that was what fixed it check that, later

the offset on the tires are 215 45 R19
That's not offset.. You're looking for the distance from the mounting face(on the inside of the rim) to the center of the rim, in millimeters...
Also, 45series tires on a 19" rim is too big..
Do you have hubcentric rings for the 19's, or at least tapered lugs?
My rims are 19x7.5's with a +45mm offset, running 215/35/19's.. Using tapered lugs. No problems here.

That's hilarious!! Those tires are nearly 2" taller than stock tires!
Dude... you're building a Monster Cav. heh.
It's your lugs, the same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Id let off the gas and it would make a thumping noise. Sure enough my left front wheel was kinda loose. I tightend up the lugs and ive been good ever since.
Shouldn't those tires rub on something too? I got 18's with the correct tire size and I am clearing the suspension parts by about 1/2 inch. I don't know how the 215 45 19 can clear that?

i thought regular neons had 4 lugs...oh well....
Not unintentionally accelerating since 2009!!!!
Negative.
Dodge neon sport MTX had 5 lug rims.
the 19s probably cost more than the neon
