Guys, i Need Help Choosing Wheel Size!!

Hello Fellow Members, i'm in the market for a set of wheels for my S.S. Rx-8 and i', not sure if the size they are offering me fit my car.

Front : 19x8.5

Rear : 19x10.5

i call my local rims shop and they say if the off set is 45 they should fit. how ever i'm not too sure about that.

please help. and if they do, what tire side should i get..

This are the wheels,

Rial Daytona Race, Luff m1

Rears will probably need the fenders cut/rolled to fit. They will be close. If you run 2deg neg camber they might just fit?

Fronts will be OK.

Why do you wan staggered setup?? This will not help the handling....

I'm running 19x8.5 with 255/35 all the way around. It is basically the closest you can get to stock size when doing a +1.

Yeah, I'm the first one, the wheels were only originally made for lexus and other european cars. Love the wheels great quality for the price, love that it looks so much like the BBS LM edition wheels.

not sure if this will help
