Rim questions

Hey I am considering a set of Racing Hart C2's because I love them cuz they are so clean. Will they fit our car? What lug pattern is our car? Im thinking 17s or maybe 18s, 19s?? (dont want to buy tires every 18k) but i saw a pic of our CL on 19" racing hart m6's..It looked really nice, but anyway, i was just wondering if they fit my car. How do you think they would look?? What is offset? Also, whats the recommended tire size? Ive seen so far for the 18's, 225/40 and for 17s 205/40 (same width as our stock tires). which are the 19s'? hehe

arite sounds good

arite cool, then they are available for our car. Is there an advantage/disadvantage or difference having 2 diff size tires in the back and the front? I know my dad's 911 Turbo has different sized tires in back and front, but how will it be on our cars? Cuz these rims can do that i think. Hey squirm. whats in ur sleeper? that zex icon is intimidating lol. Im sure many have already asked you that

Since our cars are fwd there is no point in putting bigger tires in the back. Your dads porsche is rwd and thats why it has thicker tires in the back. With the same size tire all around you'll be just fine.
About my CL its got a long list of stuff on it including a 75 shot of zex. But what really makes it cool is that its getting a new engine next month.

You can lower or get rims in any order. Just be careful how much you lower if you get big rims like 19s. If you drop your car to much with those tires you will rub them on the tire well when you hit bumps.
