alright so i called the site. Reason i was getting that pop up is because the rims have an offset of +40 and the site recomends +42-55m so it gives that for everything thats out of that band.
now my question is will 19x9 +40 fit in front ad back?

It will fit but you might want a more aggressive offset. If you want flush you want a lower number. I ordered my rims in 18x9 +30. Should be flush if not, slightly recessed.

Also, have you looked elsewhere online? Carid is a bit expensive. What wheels are you looking at?

Check out this thread.

Almost towards the bottom, he's on 19x9.5 +40.



This too.

You'll probably need a roll for the 9.5". Play it safe and get the 8.5"? Thaat was my choice but then they said they ran out so I bumped to a 9". Didn't want to wait another month.

As for Brembo's, you should be fine. But I'm not positive. Need someone else to chime in.

Do not get the 8.5's unless you want little to no concave. I would recommend rolling the fenders but you don't need to. These will clear brembo's with room to spare.

The M310's will fit over brembo brakes. AG makes all their wheels to clear bbk's. 9.5's will fit w/o rolling the fenders. I have these same wheels in the same size and have over a 2" drop and my fenders aren't rolled. I do rub a little with wheels turned and hitting a bump.

No prob. No 19's won't mess anything up. MPH and mileage will all still be dead on. You don't need to buy TPMS's but from reading on here I would. Many reasons why:
1- If you use the stock ones you will have to break down the factory tires (meaning dismounting the tires which will cost $).
2- If you ever need to use the stock wheels again they will have no TPMS sensors. (if you used the stock sensors)
3- If the stock TPMS sensors have any issues after installing on the aftermarket wheels you will have to break down that set to replace the bad sensors. (= even more money)
4- Your already buying new wheels and tires might as well buy new sensors too.

No problem, seems like AG is HOT right now. So many questions about these wheels after I got mine. Always willing to help promote them.

Also, I have been keeping in touch with AG through FB. They told me they will have 3 more current wheel designs in a 5x114 pattern by the end of June. They also have a forged line that is custom order specs.
