Exclamation NEW is250 owner about to order some rims! need help

recently got a pearl 08 is250 - finally made up my mind on what wheels to get decided to go with the SSR MS1s

But before i order em wanted to see if any of you guys recommend a place to get em for the best price or to make a change in the size

- i was planning on getting them from vivid racing and going with •Front: 19 x 8, Rear 19 x 9 •Bolt Pattern: 5-114.3 cause thats the size i saw that the FSPORTs come in and the tires hankook 225/40/19 in the front and 255/40/19 in the back what do you guys think?

if you were going low on coils then you would have finder work rolling all 4 would help and you would need a smaller tire

with all due respect, don't throw out wheel specs just because you think they're cool wheel specs to run. there's a lot that goes into what wheels and tires to run than just arbitrarily throwing out wheel specs. you might end up leading the OP down a path that he/she might not have wanted to go down. seriously.

and to the OP, if you have any fitment questions, please look for the "will those wheels fit?" thread located a few pages back and post your fitment questions there.

I second, 19x8.5 19x10 or even 11 go with a lower profile tire, 25 in front 30 in rear. Btw get coils/springs before wheels so you will get an idea of whats the perfect offset. IMO it's harder to do the opposite, getting wheels then drop and regret the offset you got.

Best advise ever, specially since those offsets he gave are very aggressive.

Actually not really, my offsets weren't aggressive...they were perfect.
