If you do get rims, try to get a higher offset. 19x8 +45 will be rubbing.

Your new wheel will have the following characteristics:

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 3mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 23mm (0.92")

my vote for a system. the reason is in Ohio(certain roads)you might as well forget about going over potholes and RR tracks you'll bend 19s. I imagine you can get 18s and be safe around here. most everyone around here runs 17s and they're fine

I'd personally on a CL type S (from what I like) run a 18 inch TSW Revo. THOSE LOOK SOOOOOO HOT on a CL(i saw a pic on this board somewhere with 18 Revo)

I say go with the system first. Cause you'll be listenin to it. Rims would be second, cause then it's for others to see it. YOu'll be looking at your rims when you CLEAN them. so i say for the SYSTEM!!

If you wanna be true GHETTO get the Gold plated wire rims(like you see on all the gangster Impalas) hang your blue or red "rag" around the rearview mirror but be careful what neighborhood you drive through (you might have a CL with bullet holes)

If you're dropping with H&Rs (2" drop right?) you should be able to rock 18s and have them look plenty big enough because of that drop.

If you go with the rims go with silver. Bronze only looks good on black ITRs, RSXs, and scoobies.

STOP LISTENING TO ALL THESE FOOLS

Get the 19"s. If the Advans are too expensive you can get Axis Muse's that look damn near identical for probably less.


19x8 +45 will fit without rubbing.

I have 19x8 +45 and i only rub if I try too... and this is with a 4" drop in front.

If your rocking H&R's or some Comptech's... youll be golden.

Be a pimp get the rims

Get the rims first then the system. Kings Paul Fan 1 is wrong. Any true pimp knows that rims attract hoes first not music.
