Tire and wheel help!!!?
OK i want new tires and wheels. I have a torch red coupe C5, tinted windows, black interior and blacked out lights. I want black 5 spoke wheels with the red pinstripe around them to show off the red calipers and some good tires. Right now i am on stock chrome 17's and 18's. should i go to 18's and 19's? What width? I don't want anything too wide since i live on a gravel road. What size tire so i don't throw the traction control in a hissy? Opinions are appreciated, but i am looking at a big change on my car and i don't want to screw it up. 
Some actual experience is what i am looking for. Thanks for the help.

Toque has a great looking Z. I believe that his wheels are CCW. Not what you're looking for, but check out his link.

18/19, 19/19, 19/20 all look good on the C5. Just depends on what style you want. I'm running 19/19 on mine and went with Hankook tires in the stock widths.
