im thinking about getting a set of axis hiros, but im wondering what type of width i should use. 18x8.5, 19x8.5, or 19x9.5 all around or some type of staggered setup.

i also would like a deeper lip on them and for each size the lip gets bigger:

18x8.5= 1 1/2 inch
19x8.5= 1 3/8 inch
19x9.5= 2 3/8 inch

im leaning towards the 19x9.5s because of the larger lip but im unsure about them fitting.

also dont care dont care to get into a staggered vs non staggered performance argument, im just looking for info/opinions on these wheels and fittiment.

 

I think you have to go 19" if you do the Hiros. Here's a thread with a VR with 19".
They look pretty nice indeed.

mmm get axis shine. bigger lips =p

 

eh i dont really like the shines as much.

what are some of the problems with going 19x9.5 all around?

 

im gonna have em in the back and 8.5s in the front. but im gonna be running a smaller tire size of 265s opposed to the regular 275s people use here.

its probably gonna rub if you put em on the front.

are you gonna roll your fenders or anything

 

im gonna bump this just to see if i can get some more responses

 

are you lowered at all rider? if not do you plan to?

 

lowering doesnt really seem like a path im gonna go to anytime soon. i already have trouble with the MS front

 

then i say stagger it, better than chancing rubbing, especially if staggered doesn't bother you (it doesn't bother me at all, it'll look good)

 

yeah im slowly starting to lean toward staggering
