18's or 19's rims
Is there anybody on here with 19's on their CL. I'm gettin the eibach prokits as well, so i'm wondering if i could do 19's and still keep the ride good and no rubbing. Also, how big is the weight difference between chrome and alloy's? Does it slow you down that much?

I have the Prokit also. I doubt that you could fit 19's w/o rubbing. I was thinking of getting 18's. Anyway, I'm sure that someone will respond to this shortly.

I've seen 19X7.5" rims. I would think that the tire would have a sidewall like a rubber band. If you have rough roads, I wouldn't recommend them. I just got 18's and the sidewall isn't very tall, but still, I have a sidewall. Not sure about rubbing with 19's. I don't rub with 18's.
As for the chrome vs. alloy, it comes down to the wheel itself. For example. If you took some 18" RacingHart CP10's and had them chromed, they still would be lighter than almost any other 18" non-plated wheel. Chrome will add weight to any wheel. Not a whole lot though.

I was just wondering,...how would 'rubbing' from plus sizing, be possible if you keep the same overall diameter of the wheel the same(plus sizing)??

I don't know thats, what i' figuring, cause if you have the wheel set at 7.5 then it should be fine, but like he said in the post previous that the tire would be like a rubberband. Way to thin, i don't know i'm still thinking about it though.
