Question about wheel setup
I was looking at wheels to replace on the car as soon as I get it since it has the stock 19s that I don't really like.
Now, I found a good wheel that I can get here and originally I wanted the same wheel sizes as stock, 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear but the 19x8.5 only available offset is ET40. I could get spacers but I prefer not. The 19x9.5 are avalable in ET22. So would going 19x9.5 ET22 square be a good idea and be able to fit the stock tires? All I can think of is square is more convenient so you can rotate all wheels. I won't track the car like a pro but will try it out at least once in the lifetime of the car for fun, and some autocross. I don't see any disadvantages? |

Do they have wider rears?
I would run 265/30/19 in front. You can then run stock size in the rear if you wanted. But it would be better to have a wider rear. |

Stock tire sizes are 245/35 front and 265/35. I'm just trying to get new wheels without having to change tires, it would be to much of a bill in one sitting. When the time comes to change the tires, I could then get wider in the front. And does staggered still look good? Or stay staggered with spacers, but good spacers are like 150$ USD right? |

Stock tire sizes would work on 9.5 squared wheels.
Fronts will be slightly stretched but not horrible. A 10.5 rear would be great, run stock sizes initally then wider when they wear out.

It's just I'm trying to get affordable wheels that look like the CSL/ZCP ones. My budget really is 1500$ CAD and the VMR V703 (VB3 are the 19s) fit well. It comes just shy of 1500$ total with tax and shipped. |

Say no to reps. I wouldnt get those cheap wheels. Save a few more hundred and set a oem set of zcps. Just wait for a set to pop up usually around 2000cad if you find a set locally.
