Guessing to keep weight down you didn't go wider with the tires? But do you know how wide we can go on a 19x9.5" or 9.5" wide wheel?
Thx!

If you're running a 9.5 width wheel on the CLA, I'd recommend not going over a 255 tire depending on what offset you chose. There isn't as much room in the wheel well compared to some other platforms.

My solution for excess weight is more HP.
Losing weight is not easy to come by short of the wheels. You could have a rear seat delete fabbed, remove all sound deadening material, carpet, etc.
I guess if the car is not tracked and a daily I just don't see the point.
Removing 75lbs out of my mustang GT in 06, I barely noticed any improvement in ET or MPH. On the street I would guess even less so.
Good luck with the build.
