Mulac, hmm I never experienced any rubbing when I was running 40, and only very slight on the 45. I could choose to ignore it and it will make only a faint sound on the deepest turns.. But I'm **** like that so I chose to heat the well.. Haha..

Silver C, yeah I know what you mean about 19's and the road conditions. Fortunately for me, I think that Florida does a very good job with keeping the roads in good shape. I mean they aren't perfect but I hardly encounter roads with potholes and other *****. But I have had 18's and I like either of them. I guess it all depends on the car. For this one I just wanted to go 19.

Same here haha. I guess I'm used to vehicles with nasty rides, because the difference I experienced between my 17's to 19's, was minimal at best. I'm surprised so many people are saying 18's.

i'd only say 18's for the sake of having lighter wheels, not to say that you can't find lightweight 19's, but for a given wheel, the 18 will always be lighter than the 19.
as far as the comfort though, it won't be much of a difference between the two. and DC has pretty f***ed up roads too

Well I guess different people have different way or car handling and feeling the way it drives. Some would say its minimal and at some point I can agree, but to me what I feel between 18" and 19" is very much a huge gap.. But as I said, I will always be tempted to snap on another 19" every now and then..
