What about these RUFF's?

http://www.statuswheels.com/wheels/ruff-racing/2_931/931.html
Do I do staggered or all the same width? 9.5 or 8.5? I am doing the 19's. Maybe later coloring the chrome to gunmetal

I would be a little concerned in terms of clearance with the BBK. I believe the recommended size is 19x8.5, but the design of the wheel is also depicted of if it would clear your BBK. Through previous experiences through friends who has had these wheels before. The wheels are up there in terms of weight.... just my $.02.

You also need to find out about the offset of this rim.... offset = ability to clear the brake caliper.... i believe our cars are either .45 or .35 not sure which one

I think stock offset is in the 50's but I have an RJ set that's good with 32. Most other tires you need high 40's.

I was told it's more than just offset when trying to mount a wheel so the only sure way is a test fit...

some guy at the place im getting those RUFFs said that he recommends going with a staggered set up, but we have the SH-AWD and it didnt make sense to do that when the wheels arent like that to begin with.
I am doing the 19's and debating whether to do the 8.5's or the 9.5's

037, what width are your wheels? I would like mine to fit the wheel wells like yours

mine are stock sized wheels with a crazy offset...

245/45/18 on 8" rim and 32 offset. There is not a lot of clearence between front BBK and the wheel.

It was so snug in the back it tore up some liner on bumps, just because the wheels are pushed out more.

I am dropped on H&R 1.5" front and 1.4" back so a-spec would be a drop without the tear in the back.

The front are good and don't rub, except I hit a huge pothole once and it chewed up and spit out my right tire liner without me even noticing it!

otherwise...yea, wheels are fun.

offset is relavant to rim width only. Offset does not determine wether or not it will clear the caliper. Spoke design plays into it more than offset since the spacing changes greatly say from a 8.5 rim with a +40 to a 9.5 rim with a 40+ offset.
