Getting a bit confused on wheel fitment (Want to run 19's on my 6 Speed w/Brembos)

Just want to run 19's, the wheels I am looking at are the Axis Penta's, I just need to know if I should run a 8.5 or 9 and what off set. Or should I run a staggered set up, I am looking for the best advice.

I am sitting stock now but was thinking about putting the Tein S-Tech springs on depending on the collective advice of the group .

I had a flat and all the tires need to be replaced and need to order ASAP, that is why I want to make sure I get it right and get it right quick. I will take anyone's

I think the Pentas won't clear the brakes.

Does anyone have a quick guidline as far as what to look for as in like 19x9 42mm offset or what? Or does it really depend on the wheel and the design of the wheel?

Pentas will clear the brakes with a 5mm spacer in the front. I did extensive research on these wheels as I want them on my car too. 19x8.5 +35 will fit just fine but like I said you will need a 5mm spacer in the front. If you go staggered then 19.9 +42 in the back

Don't use spacers, find a wheel thats fits, it is a pain, but have fun is all I can say. Do you have $3k for just wheels? Check out Volks, sweet BRAH.

thats what I thought but I dont think they do. i think private nets spokes are sharp and they are only 8"wide so the lip is smaller on them. THey dont look as good as privates but still a nice wheel

19x8.5 with 35 mm offset will fit your car but need to roll your fender,and yes you can run stag' set up with the same ^^ size and offset in the front and 9.5 in the rear with 45mm offset. this set up will look bad ass. i'm running on the same susspention as you are and Axis Shine 19x8.5/35mm offset all around and will have the stag' setup done this summer... good luck and have fun.
