My new rims - RAYS - Sebring
Finally I got the valve stems for the rims, so I went to install the tires, rims and alignment done about last two weeks.
The rims is by RAYS, 19x8.5 and 19x10, using 245-35-19 and 275-30-19 S03, the both gap I set to slightly less than 2 fingers. The rims design is going deep toward inside the rim center, about 1" deep in front and 2" deep in rear, I like it very much!
The driving feeling is much different than before, feel heavier when start and understeering when making a turn, but the handling is better than my original 17".

aldo23, which rims you getting from RAYS?? About the road feeling, I feel the road much more than the 17", the S-03 done very good job, very quiet and grip! I have a TEIN-HA installed, 10/8 setup. Last thing to mention....you may have to set your shock stiffer, otherwise rub the fender may resulted, because it happened on me before!

I'm going w/ a fatter tire, or some call it the "fat set-up". I want more comfort, well, thats what I hope. As for drop, I plan to get H&R springs. As for rubbing, and rolling fenders, I already have an idea that I may have problems(thanks to Cerebrus's help) due to my offset, and width of the front rim. For the front I got a 19x9 38offset, and Im being told I should get a 8.5.I guess we'll see...

Glad to see you finally got those rims on the car! If you are rubbing, you may consider rolling the fender but I think going ahead and cutting the fender works out better. Couple of shops warned me away from rolling due to the possibility of creating a visible ripple in the fender or damaging the paint. RMMGS4 has the rear fenders cut -- he did not even notice until I pointed it out.

aldo23 - it is a nice rims through, I like a deep dish too!! Post some pics when you got it!!
redgs4 - thanks for the info. That's why I rise it a bit like about 2 fingers gap between that, so far the ride is comfortable and not so stiff. Unless there has a big hole, it never rub the fender again. Hey....do you still remember how much the original price for that rims?

I don't remember the price, sorry.
You may not rub now, but load up a few other people and the car will settle and you will rub. Better just to go ahead and take car of it now, IMO.
