Because bronze wheels look better

19x9.5 (245/35) up front, 19x10.5 (265/35) in rear with p4s rubber

tried uploading these photos directly, but couldn't figure it out

Looks great and appears to be just a shade lighter than mine on black just like your car. Lots of love on here for that combination.

Yup. Wheels look good but you need wider tires, 275/295 would look much better. What offsets are those wheels? They seem to poke quite a bit, especially in the rear. A drop and/or some camber adjustment is in order.

I don't know that I'd call proper size tires strictly a cosmetic change. I wouldn't buy rims if I couldn't afford the correct tires to match.

Correct, I don't half-ass things. I can understand wanting to keep stock suspension, I'm in that same boat. I just don't understand why someone would buy beautiful wheels just to skimp on tires, resulting in goofy looking fitment emphasized by very aggressive offset on stock suspension. I assume you bought these for cosmetic reasons and from a cosmetic standpoint they don't look right to me. There is also a performance degradation with that much tire stretch. I don't mean to be offensive, just my opinion. If you like it that's all that matters.

These tires don't look stretched lol. I do think you need to lower the car by 2 inches all around though at minimum. Black & bronze looks pretty nice.

Brutal feedback, I think it looks great. Come on guys, the man pulls the trigger on a great mod and then gets blasted for the height and stretched tires. Would I have done coils first, yes but that was his choice. Does it need a drop, absolutely but the mod itself looks great. Keep it coming man, enjoy the new mod.

Nobody is blasting anyone. Everyone is sharing their opinion. Take it or leave it, that's how forums work.
