i like the first, 5 spoke, rim. i wasn't a big fan of 5 spoke rims, but i've seen A LOT of them on 8th gen coupes and they look really good!

yes mine is the pmm
the only thing about the avarus is that they are very heavy rims, just over 30lb each for 19s.
and thats the cheapest place that i found too. and for the tenzo they were 311 for 19s no 20s
and the one you have the pic of will look very nice on your sedan specially if u get 20s

I dont think you can do 9" for front, im pretty sure 8.5 is the max. if u try putting 9s then when you turn sll the way they will grind.

Get a +48 offset in the rear +43 in the front.

size:19x10, Bolt Pattern:5x114.3, Offset:22...would that be okay for the rear?
and for the front....
19x8.5 5x112/114.3 45
19x8.5 5x100/114.3 45
19x8.5 5x114.3 17
which one should i go for?
thank you

+22 and +17 are going to stick out of the wheel wells. On the +45 ones it doesn't matter which of the 2 you pick because you are only concerned about the 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

30 lbs is very heavy. With the tire you are going to be at 55 lbs or more. The stock 17" wheel and tire is 48 lbs, I don't know the weight of the stock 18" wheel and tire but it's probably a lot less than 55 lbs.

i guess then they wouldn't look nice if they stick out, specially if i get the 2nd one(tenzo)

You could do it . 19x10 22offset with a 245 strech tire and negative camber . It's not my style to go with .

You can always go 8.5" wide front and rear. If you want the staggered look so the rear tires also come out to the edge of the fender like the front you can put a small spacer in the rear. A benefit of doing this versus a true staggered setup is that you can rotate the tires front to rear if they are directional or front to rear and side to side if they are asymmetrical but not directional.

It woun't look right . The purpose of staggerd is to have a deeper dish wheel on the rear .

just dont get 10's in the rear if you plan on slamming the car with coilovers.

It may work with rolled fenders slammed but would really be a stretch. I have 8.5 in the rear with a 45 offset slammed and i could only maybe add another 5mm offset without rolling the fenders.
