Out of those two, I'd opt for the AME's.

how low are you going to be?

if you plan on at least tucking both front and rear.....it can be a mild tuck..

I would do a

19x9+15 on a 225/35/19 452
19x10+20 on a 265/30/19 or 245/35/19

you'll be rolling deeeeeeeeep

With those tires size, the rear will be stretched while the front will not be. I would do 265/30 in the rear instead, to keep the tire proportions the same.

really? chrome is flashy, so it isnt for everyone. however, to say its not vip is just spreading misinformation. these weren't even hard to find... you can tell by the plates.

VIP style cars do use chrome wheels...they are a lot more expensive too!

go lower offset on the front...esp if you're doing air runners. I'm running a 8.5 +19 and need at least another 5-10mm...
