Just don't hit a pothole with a 15% profile tire.

I'd bet a good sum that those are 19s. There's no way the 6th gen will have our tire height. They also look, tire/rim ratio wise, like the 5th gen with 20s. Thus, 19s... I could be wrong though, of course.

Cadillac engineers fought to limit the wheel sizing for performance reasons.

I don't think that going to smaller wheels would be a bad thing. The only issue is that going to 19s leaves you with a very poor tire selection, and going to 18s would result in all hell breaking loose on this forum.

I personally don't care what size the wheels and tires are, as long as they "fit" the car well. By this, I mean no excess space, no wheels that are very small in relation to the tire, and a wheel style that is is appropriate for the styling of the car.
