HELP! About to buy some wheels tires etc


hope that image works.

hope that works.

I was thinking about going with some 19X8.5 WITH +35 OFFSET Vertini Hennessey Wheels. I found a seller on ebay willing to do 1300 with free shipping. Is this good deal? And what do yall think about the overall look. I have an 08 Black TL .

Still looking for tires. Any Ideas on great value tires? I really like a quite ride and what to keep that.

ALSO with the wheel size i'm going for what the best size tires 235* 245* .... ??? and how thick of a profile can i go with and no "rub" but maintain that sleek look?


Thanks for yall help

The bolt pattern is fine. what is the Hub? I dont think that I have seen that anywhere?

Not doing a stagger b/c I what to be able to rotate the tires? What would be the difference im tire life stagger vs non stagger?

Thats for all the help yall. I hope they look nice on the car it sucks that I cant try them on before buying. For the type of wheels I think i'm getting a good price.

^ tire life hmmm u will deff go through fronts faster if u run stagger and dont rotate... i like the staggered stance on rims even if they are fwd cars... i think going through tires a lil faster is worth the look. our hub that goes into the center of the rim is 64.1mm so the hub hole on the back of the rim has to be at least 64.1mm or greater... if greater you will need to get some plastic hubcentric rings to make up the difference. If smaller you are S.O.L. or you can get them drilled out. ask the seller what the hub size is on it
