Default ccw 19 or 18

in the ccw 505a's should i go 19 or 18s ...is seems most people go 19 ...and 11 in the rear and 10 in the front ...my main concerns are 19 i hear you have very little traction of the start in you give her ... ...do you have alot better traction with 18??? and also i want too see what the 11 look like in the back ...i dont want them to stick out too much i want the flush with the top of the wheal well in the back ...

i would go with the 18s as the larger rim just hurts performance . the backspace will determine where your will stick at . always like a bit of a lip on the wheels especially in the back .

I've got 18's and I think they're perfect. It's all a matter of opinion though.
