Default Purchasing 19's...need opinions first please....

'm about to buy a 19's set up....

19x8.5 et35 (Front and rear)

I'll be running 245/35/19 Falken 452.....would there be some rubbing issues especially at the fronts since offsets are 35. Car will be lowered on DF210s.

Also, I could do the staggered set up by having the Rear 19x9.5 et42 (would this be the same as the fronts since offset is a bit higher?)

found great deal on these wheels all 4 same offset for......

http://edgeracing.com/2002/Lexus/GS/bundle/1025/

Please let me know your input. Thanks

didnt even know falken makes wheels LOL
i'm thinking you should be ok with those offsets on DF's; i dont think they drop flush or tuck 19's. any offsets less and/or drop lower and you might start worrying.

For the best aesthetics, go staggered.

Throw a budget. If you're dealing with Edge Racing, I assume you have a limited budget? Check out the MRR wheel line. Give Derrick at D2 Autosports for the best deal.

Don't care much for that style tho. And looking through the rest of the site, doesn't look like very many "specials" on anything I had my eye on.

I'll agree, they are simple. As for most of those on this forum I have noticed the style of wheels are pretty simple, and thats what makes the car look good. It's the more complicated designs that we all comment on being silly or ricey....pick your word.

But for some reason, being me, thats just what I felt. Perhaps if someone would photoshop them to a GS, it might look good, who knows?

I'm sick of people with "bippu" or "vip" in their names that do nothing to live up to it. If you like the wheels then go for it but don't call yourself bippu.
