Default New rims: 19" Axis on SGM IS350

After 3 months of planning and researching, finally got my new wheels.

19" Axis Penta's.

Yes, there's a wheel gap I'd like to close. However, don't want to deal with excessive rubbing. I'm taking note of the different springs and coilovers that other members are using and their experience.

Note: Did require modding to make the wheels fit.

Looking good!!! I am looking into the Axxis Hiro, 19 inch, staggered.

Couple of questions,
what set up are you running, width, offset?

Also,
Are the Axxis hubcentric rims, or did you have to put a hub centering ring?

Thanks,

Not my style in wheel but if you like them thats all that matters.

Quick note, watch the bumps. I had a set of 19" Axis Milanos on my audi and bent all 4 just daily driving here in las vegas.

Yeah, that is what I thought as well, just wanted to confirm, and more spcially, I was interested in the offset.

I was thinking of going with the 10.5 in the rear...and if the 9.5 fit in the front, going with it as well.
