Axis Pentas 19's vs 20's?? [H][E][L][P]

I'm having a hard time debating whether to get 19's or 20's Axis Pentas...



These wheels will be going on a NBP 6MT...




I'm wanting to go for the more aggressive look.. I dont know if getting 20's will achieve that goal?

Get the staggered look, 20's in the rear and 19's in the front. It's looks fresh, saves money, and you get best of both world's. the sucky thing is trying to sell them (if you do) becuz not alot of put understand what staggered wheels are. and you might need to roll the fenders on either of those sizes I assume, maybe, I'm not sure cuz sometimes they don't rub. What are the width's?? if they go 9.5 and wider, you'll need to roll them.

nice Tl by the way.

Off topic, are those OEM sun visors? Not a fan of big rims so I'd say 19's plus you're already lowered.

As of now, I'm leaning more towards 19's. 20's are great and all, but I think it will take away from the aggressiveness I'm looking for.

Well, since I got that out of the way... What tire size should I go with?

Wheels Specs are:
Front: 19x8.5 +35 <~~~ 245/35/19?
Rear: 19x9.5 +40 <~~~??

Id do 19s and I think you will need spacers up front so the wheels clear the brakes

FML... Just ordered the Axis Pentas on Element Wheels.com

Then I receive a call from the Rep saying, "He called Axis and the wheels are on Back Order for 1 1/2 month... could be longer no guarantees"

So, I just cancelled the order. He told me to try calling back in a couple of weeks. What to do??

The wheels shipped to my door with tires would have been $1872. Ahh

I just spoke with Dan, he said you probably didnt purchase tires from him... What tires did you go with and where did you get them?

They'll probably sit in the corner of my garage.... No other use for them besides spares. Why? Wanna trade for your stockies?

It's nice that you don't need winter wheels/tires.
