Hey all, just a few questions. Help is greatly appreciated. To start off, I have an 05 NBP TL. Car is bone stock so I'm not going to post pics

I plan on getting a set of rims for this upcoming spring/summer. I have looked at plenty of styles, etc. and all of your pictures have given me great ideas. In a perfect world, I would want to get a set of bronze TE37s but I cant spend that kind of money. I came across the gold XXR 522s and I saw a member here with them on his NBP like mine.

I love these wheels and I think thats what I plan on getting. Now here are my questions:

1) I want to get 19 inch rims all around, with a low profile tire. Any recommendations for tires? And what size would you all recommend? I think the tires in the link i posted look awesome.

2) What are "spacers"? Sorry, I am new to the whole wheel and tire scene.

3) I plan on lowering my car. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help, and sorry for the long ass post and stupid questions. I am new to this and am trying to learn. Thanks again

just like the real deal only fake and cheaper lol

lots of "copy cat" companies out there that make look alikes for a fraction of the price.... real TE's cost like $1G a rim while you can get all 4 varrstoen's for under $1G haha

as far as tires goes just depends on what look you are trying to achieve?? are you going staggered meaning smaller width rim in front and larger in back or do you want all rims to be the same so you can rotate? Typically on a 19" rim you want to go with a 35 or 30 series depending on width.

spacers are used to push out the tire to make it more "aggressive" depending on the rims offset you may or may not want spacers

as far as lowering just look around on the boards lots of options and opinions to read about and see which route you want to go... basically you can do springs or coilovers its about your budget and what you want

ok well im going to probably get the XXR 522s 19"

should I go staggered or no? if I do go staggered it will be 19x10 in rear and 19x8.5 in front.

my next question is if i dont want to go staggered, what size should i get all around?
