What size tires are you getting and will they fit without rubbing?

Oh duh!? I see you answered the question before I asked about tire size. Would still be interested in hearing whether they will fit without rubbing.

its STUPID to have staggered setups with wider rears in a front wheel drive setup.. and for that price, I'd rather get HRE 54x series and Fikse.. Nice looking wheels though... Forged is the way to go...
Just go 235 all around with S03s..

Those look like they should be on an American V8 muscle car. IMO

Yes, staggerd on a FWD car is GAY. Totally GAY. There is a REASON RWD cars have staggered setups. It's to put more tire to the ground for high horsepower RWD cars, to try to minimize wheel slippage.

Dude, don't stagger the size. You don't want to be laughed at while driving. It's like putting on snow tires on the rear wheels of a front wheel drive car. It happened once in a while back in the 70's when front wheel drive cars started to become more populars and their owners are so used to putting them on their old American rear wheel driven cars. I guess you can get more traction etc, if you put the wider ones in front like professional dragsters do. But on the street...yeah it would look dumb.
Nice forged wheels though.

FWD cars understeer. If the rear tires are even wider than the fronts (wider rims = wider tires, otherwise it would look even more stupid), the FWD car will understeer even more, resulting that the handling dynamics are totally screwed up.

No one has answered if those wheels will even fit. A 9.5 in the rear seems really big to me. I was hoping the 8.5's will fit, was told by one tire company that they will fit but I was thinking he just wanted the sell. Let me know how the 8.5's work out for you.

I've heard it said over and over that 19's ride like a$$. Short side
wall= stiff, unforgiving ride. But, if you're going to go 19's, go forged definitely!!!!!! Post back when you get them and give us all
