Holy ugli Batman. But of course that's just my opinion, and you obviously love them, so more power to you. The view from the rear is hot, but those wheels are just too big and too chrome.

This's the setup i would go for if im getting a 19:
19x8 +38 offset with 235/35/19 front. you can go for +35 offset if u worry about rubbing inside the wheelwell
19x9.5 +45 offset with 275/30/19 rear or 275/35/19

I don't notice anything difference honestly. The stock one have 3.54 inch sidewall height front. My tire have 3.24 inch sidewall height. only a quarter of an inch difference so i can't really tell the difference. The only difference is the car have more traction because of the wider tires.
The tire will make more difference in this case than the rims size.

A lot of people who saw my car today at the wheel shop told me not to drop the car because they look good already since the gap between the tire and fender are small already. But i will drop it.

Funny thing is I got the same comments from the shop I got my wheels at. At first I thought maybe it was ok but the longer I stare at them especially the front wheel, I just coudn't stand the gap. The rear looks ok though. I'm thinking 1 1/2" on the front and 3/4" on the rear might be alright.

Pm sent about the price. I use the same pressure sensor from the stock wheel. They work perfectly.
