if your's is not AWD try to go staggered... around 19x8 and 19x9 or.. 19x8.5 and 19x9.5.... and for the fronts yeah u can go +35 and the rear go get +42 and slap some spacers..... also... for the fronts if you do plan a drop go with 225/35 and if you dont 235/35 is good.... for the rears you can go 255/35 or 265/30...

Whats staggered?

they have the rim in 19x8 and 19x9

I cant use spaceres because of Norwegian law and I dont plan a drop =)

should i have an offset +35 front and rear?

first... getting an after market with no drop will let u be in a 4x4 status... anyway that's just my 2 cents.... next... staggered means different tire and rim size for the front and rears.... if they have the rim in 19x8 and 19x9 it's great... get those... and you can go offsets +35 Front and Rear... go with 225/35 in front and 265/30 rears... should be fine...

If you want to know if your car has TPMS let air out of one tire and start the car. If the gauge cluster lights up like crazy with check system, you have TPMS. To use TPMS on custom rims the wheels you purchased must be TPMS compatible. Easy solution for TPMS, search forum for "pipe bomb"

instead of the pipe bomb you can buy the marcato adapters... it should work with any kinds of 2-3piece wheels or even any aftermarket wheels... using those in my RacingHarts... works fine..

TPMS does not warn you as soon as you start the car
You'd have to drive it for some good distance before anything shows up.
