Newbie here and I need help from some of the more experienced members on the board. Looking to upgrade my 18" rims to 19" with a staggered look if possible. Looking at 19/8.5 front and 19/9.5 in the rear with the Eibach pro kit drop. The rims I am considering are the Rohana RC 22 with as much of a concave look as possible....Will this setup work without any problems? What other things do I need to know about? I.e wheel offset, tire size, spacers etc. Any and all help is appreciated......thanks!

 

If I were you, I would check the wheel mega thread to learn a bit, then you will ask really specific questions that people can give you concrete answers to. The short answer is those wheels will fit on the car, but dig deeper and think about the look you want and what things contribute to that look. However, I think looking at the wheel thread will give you a better understanding of what look/fitment you want to accomplish = drop, offsets, wheel/tires sizes etc.

 

Staggered wheels my look good, but have a lot of draw backs.
One, you can't rotate your wheels.
Two, if makes the car feel like it is 500 pounds heavier.

Why not run either 8.5, or 9.5 all the way around?

 

Asav...Thanks for your input. I did find the wheel and tire section so I've been searching and have found a little more info to answer some of my questions.

Maximadrvr I didn't think about the rotation issue and that's a great point. Thanks.....would the Eibach drop and 19 x9.5 work all the way around with no issues? And what tire size would be best with that setup.

 

9.5 et 40-45 would work with eibachs. Maybe as low as et 35.

245/40/19
255/40/19
275/35/19
Would all fit, with mild stretch, to vertical sidewalls.

 

Remember that the lower the aspect ratio, the rougher the ride will be.

 

Kind of....
Aspect ratio is just that, a ratio. So, a 275/35 and a 245/40 will have the same sidewall height, and ride.

Now, a 245/45/18 will be softer than a 245/40/19
