There are some guidelines in the sticky wheel fitment thread on the top of this page, have you read it ?

It's TEIN, not TIEN.
U can go about 19x10 or 10.5 to +20 to +30 offset.

should I go with 19 or 20, I want the car lowered later and I do tend to drive agresivly sometimes, sorry for the new questions, but firt thing on my list is rims, and I like wide tires, my last car I had 295 in the rear,
whats the widest I could go and I dont understand much about offset, what does +20 or +30 mean?

what do you guys think of GfG rims?

I would say go with 19s' and fat tires setup.
The lower the offset, the more the wheel sticks out.
If u go with 19x10, then u can go with offsets at around low +20s'. If u go wtih 19x10.5, then u can go with high +20s' in offset.

GFG forged wheels are nice.....but I would go with JDM wheels such as WORK or something else.

How is Tein pronounced? does it sound like "teen" or "tine" or "ten"?
I was just wondering

i have 20s and i never look back. and i know members who have 19s now and want to change to 20s. given the size of the car and how the wheel well arcs are done, 20s are great setup imho

you can easily do 20x11 and no problem at all, and in fact you can go wider if you want. 10 is very standard setup, it's great with 275 tires. i have 10.5 with 285 and i am very happy

I say "tee-in" but the correct way is "tayn". The guys at Tein say almost like "tang"
