looks good to me, n i'm with you...not everyone can afford (or wants to) drop thousands on wheels...i know i don't want to. you don't need a name brand for it to look nice. i mean check me out, i'm rollin' on g35 wheels
looking forward to seeing them mounted. oh and yes, get spacers for the rear.

yeah i think +35 would be good. mine are +33 in the rear and are pretty flush...but my width is 8.5 and yours is 9.5
either way, i think a 10mm would be just fine with your set up.

Better perspective on 19' I really dont know if this was a good price, because I come from a world of 15" wheels (EK CIVIC)
i paid a total of $1545.00 for the rims and the tires
$885.00 for the rims
$660.00 for the tires

If you tap the lip and it has a bit of a tinny sound to it its an overlay .. only thing to watch with the overlay is some don't fit tight to the material under it and they can be dented easily. Otherwise they are fine.

I'm still on stock rims but i bought the Goodyear Eagle GTs and I love them. I'm on my second set. They wear well, corner well and handle wet weather well. Perfect for Seattle (my home). They get great traction wet off the line and stopping abruptly isn't a problem. These are the V rated tires so 50k miles for warranty. I love them and recommend them anytime someone asks me. A guy at work asked me for a tire recommendation for his Subi WRX STI and I pointed him to these. Now he complains to me that he's got too much grip. :-)

Very nice, but in PR with 19's you will suffer with the excess availability of xtra large potholes!!
