What about this rim/tire setup?
 

Looking to get a staggered set of Axis Shine rims
F-19x8.5 R-19x9.5.
Offset: F-35mm R-40mm
Should I go staggered or not? I heard some say its a bad idea. IDK.
Would be a bad idea to go 9.5 all the way around?

My car suspension/brake setup is stock.

What is speed rating?
Which tire is best for the road? I dont take my 8 to the track.
Can I bolt these rims with any tire above w/o any modification to my car. I.e. will they fit?

Wheels alone are $1626. I'll prolly be buy from wheelmax cause of the financing option but if anyone knows of a cheaper place please let me know.

i'm not a big fan of the staggered setup but that's just me. i'm sure you've read this sticky: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-wheels-tires-brakes-suspension-55/so-you-think-staggered-tires-wheels-great-idea-50607/

for a list of a few wheel places check here: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-wheels-tires-brakes-suspension-55/index-wheel-stores-114717/ to see what kind of deals you can find.

and i just have to ask - why are you financing your wheels? do you need new wheels and tires or is it just for modding? it could just be me but i wouldn't want to buy them unless i had the money to spend on them. of course if you need to get some anyway and it's the difference between cheap and something nice that will last and look good then that's different.

Yeah, financing wheels really boggles the mind for me. Yes for some large ticket items like cars, a lot of people have no option except to finance, but aftermarket wheels are a luxury item and it's really not in your best financial interests to take on debt just to get them.

I have read the sicky about the staggered rims and decided against it. What about 9.5 all the way around?

Financing anything for x amount of months at 0% interest isnt bad. Its a great way to build credit. Just as long as you have it paid off before the high interest kicks in. Thats my plan although my credit is already really good. I dont mean to be a jackhole but my thread isnt about financing, its about the questions I asked.

9.5 all the way around should be okay. depending on offset you may have to roll the fenders but no big deal. and i wasn't trying to make it about financing - just had to ask since it seemed like a bad idea. but 0% APR is great for those that are good about paying off before the actual interest rate kicks in which you seem to be on top of.
