what size rims should i go with on 2001 cl-s

I am looking forward to buying rims soon. Im wondering if its worth it to go with 19inch rims or go with 18's. I really dont want rubbing or any problems that ive heard. Wondering what size ill need to get if i do have 19's. hopefully someone can help. I was thinking about some kaotik 19's.

Do a search, there's a ton of info on both 18s & 19s. How much do you want to spend? Are you lowered? Is ride an issue? Do you have decent roads? Is weght of the wheel an issue?

Go with 19X8 with a 45mm offset.

It won't rub.

Nicky, your car is hot

TypeR, are you on 235\40\18s?

oh, as for evilstorm .. the way I see it is, it depends what look\functionality your going for. If you want max performance, a lightweight 17 would probably do the car best. If you want performance but looks too, 18 .. and for basically just amazing looks but dodging every pothole you see, 19s
