with the 19" rims, do you have to somehow reset the speedo gauge, so the MPH is right on??

Depends on overall wheel/tire diameter. If the combo is the same, then no.
My 19's are about 3/4 inch taller than the stock 17's when mounted on their respective tires. Much less sidewall on larger wheel sizes.

To get an avatar posted you need to email Tony (Vipermad) with a picture.

Those are Forgeline VR1's. Specifically made for Gen I and II vipers.
Call JonB at partsrack, or check out partsrack.com for the deal.
forgeline.com has more info on the wheels. They have the same look as SRT-10 wheels, but they are not flush. They have a nice deep lip on 'em. :cool:

A 345/30/19 actually has slightly more sidewall than a 335/30/18, and the 19" rear tire is closer to an inch and a half taller than the 18.
