Quick Question ?

I would like to get some opinions : 20's or 19's
Which one would anyone prefer.
And one more thing..... If I got 20's , would it look bad if I didn't drop it and just left it as is (stock height) ..... and if I were to drop it w/ 20's , how much ?

Just in case 2001 CL-S

20s will not work with the cl. you should drop the car and get 19s that will look the best!

because as the bigger the rim is the tire has to be wider. and there's only so wide the CL's wheel wells will go before you "rub" and rubbing is when you cock the steering all the way one way and your tires will rub on the wheel well(bad:thumbsdn: ).

IMO you'll look like an SUV if you don't lower it with 19 or 20s

19's are for show.. first nice sized pothole you hit your gonna get OWNED... 18's and lower it.. no one will be able to tell the difference.. your wallet will be able to tell a diff. though... Get a nice forged wheel.

Its the pleasure of just saying "I have 20's" . Basiclly im going to stick w/ the 19's .... Hopefully pictures will be on the way.

Thanks for the advice(s)

Some guy at Importxpression Had 20's on his CL. I'll see if I even took a pic of it, it was ugly, a PDG one.

stick with 19s and a drop. there is no sense in getting 20s to say i have 20s and make the car look worse of a 4x4 than it already is. if you want to see 19s and a drop just click the link in my sig for pics. and do a search for pics of other peoples rides with 19s and a drop
