19's. Now its just deciding on the size of tire that will fit. I want to use KDW2s on them so its either 235/35 r19 or 245/35 r19, just worried about rubbing in the front with the 245s on a +35 offset.

Yeah, I would suggest running the rear setup all around, it'll look a lot better.

I was gonna run 17x10 +35's with 255/45's all around until i was told the fenders would still HAVE to be rolled/pulled to fit properly. Rishie recently schooled me in wheel/tire setup 101, (i didnt know ****). If ur cool with rolling fenders then the 265's w/ 17x10 all around would look friggin awesome. Im goin with 17x9 +35's, didnt want to mod the fenders.

yeah ill roll the fender fr sure. would the difference in offsets in the front 40 be very noticeable compared to the back which is 35?
would a 255 work well all the way around? i am just wondering because it is a pretty good deal,

5mm

Come on people..they are measurements...not rocket science

In a 9.5" wheel though it is the difference between a roll and a good fit.......

Im no wheel expert but just by looking at the math, 5mm is barely noticeable, ur talking about 0.2 inch of difference.

The reason I said pic the rear setup all around is because 10" is concave, 9" is not, you can not directly compare the offsets of wheels with different widths.

I really like the wheels, and thats not a bad price at all. But they DO have some scrapes on em.

If you want black 17x10 +35's all around, Rishie (AutoRnd vendor) had 1 set in stock the last time i checked with him and they were VERY well priced (not far off from what that dude is asking) brand new, you may want to check it out. I owe him the referral

i figure since they are only 30 min from my house it isn't so bad and since they will be my first set i really dont mind but how do i get a hold of him or just the price with shipping.

PM'd u the info.

Thing is, if u buy the ones in that listing, only the rears will have the cool concave look. Set from Rishie would both have that look and be the same size all around. The 17x9 dont have it.

Fronts will be in more than the rears...will look OK.. Will they clear the brakes??

Rears will need camber and an aggressive roll to fit though
