Are you planning a drop?

I say, 19x8.5, +40 offset all around. Get 245/35/19 tires. If you go any lower on the offset, you'll have to modify your fenders. It's better to avoid that, if possible.

Hope this helps!

h&r are good springs. And I believe that it would work with those wheels. There are alot of members here with wheels whose sizes and even more of a drop then those springs

I would drop the car first, then decide what size/offset you want to go with. It's much easier to plan wheels around a drop than it is to plan a drop around wheels.

BTW, I have the H&R Race springs and I love them.

to be honest, i really do not know. i am going to go into houston to figure it all out. its either these or the rivieras. but my window tint is 5% so i think it will look damn good. plus my tail lights and sidemarkers are black, so i think the little bit of black accent from the wheels will match great.

The vertini wheel is a great looking wheel. One of my good friends and former Acurazine member (Flint) when he had a CL-S just got these wheels for his BMW 545 and i must say, i thought they were "ok" looking in pics, once he got them, i love them...he car looks hot. wheel looks like it cost alot more than it does.

^ Hennessy FTW. Regarding tires, it's all about your budget. With 19x8.5's, if you get a set of Max Performance Summers...you'll spend around $1K for tires, and might be able to squeeze in mounting/balancing, if you find a good deal. For "decent" tires, you're looking at a couple hundred dollars less.

^ That's personal preference. If you get the A-Spec, it comes prepainted and is cheaper. The RJ kit is nice, but it's much more expensive, and you'll stillhave to get it painted.

The A-Spec flows well, and is more modest. The RJ kit is more flamboyant.

Don't know of any problems. They are heavy. If you're looking for performance, any 19" wheel is going to be heavy, though. With 19's you're going for looks, which is what most people here prefer.
