I have been looking at rims for a little while and my I can't decide if i want the Nurburgring Matte Gunmetal Rims by TSW or Vossen CV2's

I want to go with 19's and stagger them, but i dont wan't to run into any rubbing issues down the road.

Along with the new rims i need new tires for the summer, i will be keeping my OEM rims for the winter and they will also get new winter tires.

I also plan on dropping the car a bit, but living in NY puts a damper on how low it can really go.

All opinions are accepted

Living in the city I suggest to not bother with lowering. Any amount that makes any visual difference will just make your ride crap with all of the potholes and you'll just be doing more snow plowing in the winter nevermind when it becomes necessary to park on a street on top of or in between uncleared snow banks.

I went with 19x8.5 (245/35) and 19x9.5 (275/30): Avant Garde Dolphin Grey M310s @ a stock height

No rubbing, no issues... everyone on the forum is telling me to lower it, but i'm sticking to the stock set up

No rubbing issues assuming that you go with a conservative offset. You can also lower with quality springs which will give you a mild drop yet still retain ride comfort and improve your handling. If youre concerned with ride quality id focus more on the type of tire you use.

what kind of offsets would give me a nice aggressive stance without rubbing issues?

what are good tire brands for summer tires?
