need advice, 18's? 19's? tires?...

ok , im looking currenty at 2 different wheel setups, HPRacing Flight wheels in chrome from wheels boutique, how do you guys think those would look, i want 19's b/c i love the look of bigger wheels but if i cant get a decent size tire i will not go with that and will get 18's, i was also lookin at z06's 18x9.5 and 18x10(r) is there a way to get the 19's on with a decent tire and not rub/kill my rims over bumps lol, or should i just stick with the 18's and be done with it..... i am also thinking of eibach sportlines, 2" drop, but i dont want it to rub like over bumps in the road, but if it rubs when turning hard then thats ok b/c i would aviod doing that.... gimmie some help hah thanks


Also looking at the byod smoothie II, trying to get a aggresive looking rim for under 300/each b/c i have to stay under $200o with everything said and done.

Unless you want to win car shows, I would stick with 18" wheels and 40 series tires. This gives you more protection for the lip of your wheels.
