Default Question?

I have 19"BR5's from my previous car, i believe the numbers are 19/8/48 offset. Will they fit perfectly on my GS?
And i wanna reduce as much noise as possible, so what size tire should i get?
by the way my buddy henry said i should get a staggered set, is it really that important?

they should be ok..you need the correct size of 245/35/19.. or if you can 245/40/19 f+r...choose the right tyre to reduece tyre noise..it is not easy because they are very low profile

"staggering" would require you to buy 2 more wheels, 19x9.5 or 19x9...it improves the handling, and look GOOD..so it all depends on what you mean by "important"

staggering means that the back wheels are wider than the front. It will require you to buy tires more often due to not being able to rotate and balance your tire.

Im at work so i dont have the time to break-down the whole *** thing
Anyways, say i went w/ a thicker tire, but i decide to keep the rims that i have now, will it really be a problem riding w/ the same size rim and tire combo for all four tires?
Does anyone in this forum have the same set up of 19/8/48offset, b/c some comment got me worried b/c people applied spacers of some sort, i have no idea how that would work(im not to keen w/ cars, thats why i always ask so many silly questions..
