You will impact braking distance and reduce your tire choices. Frankly, I didn't know CCW would do chrome wheels.

19" ccw vs 20"
OK.....Im taking the plunge. Looking at chrome CCW wheels. Not sure what style yet. My question is: 19" all around or 19 & 20. Tire choices ? any pics ? Please help.......I need (want)them bad.

Here are a few pics of my 19/20 CCW T10s. I really think the T10s pull off the look quite nicely. However, most of the other CCW wheels didn't look right in the 20" size...its like only the spokes are longer, and the rest of the wheel is based off the 19. I'm not sure if I'm wording it correctly...for the most part, with CCWs, I would go 19s all around.

I have 19s all the way around. Don't go with any higher profile than 30s on the front or they will rub in the turns.

Go with SP16a's
The 505a's are an awesome looking wheel, but everyone has em, I wanted to be different. I did 19's all around, IMO 20's look to big...getting into Hooptie land when you start going larger than 19's JMO
Tires= BFGKDW2's very happy with them.
If you do 20's, do a 19/20 combo.

Have to agree that an 18/19 combo would be a better choice, but if you want one of the two you mention, go with the 19's all the way around.
