Default Ace Strada... Thoughts?

So Ive come up with a wheel and tire set up Im planning on going with:
Ace Stradas 19 x 9.5 et38/25 (front/rear) (planning on going with a 3mm spacer in the front if possible after I see the actual fitment)
Falken 452s 235/35/19
I am currently lowered on s-techs

Should look alright with 19's and offset seems alright for the springs and shouldnt rub.

I think it will look good. I'd go +35 offset all around and use a 5-10mm spacer on rears. That way you can rotate the tires, if you care about that.

In all honesty I wanted to avoid spacers larger than 5mm because of all the bad rep they get. Thats why I went with this setup. Im not too worried about rotation because the shop I go to wont charge me for it. They have been long time friends with my family. Even if they do I can always just do it myself.

Are you sure you understand what Blackedout011TC meant? With staggered offsets, you aren't going to be able to simply move wheels around to perform your tire rotation. You will need to un-mount your tires from your wheels and re-mount them to a different wheel to perform the rotation. This is something you can just do yourself?

EDIT: regardless, my opinion is that they are good looking wheels man.

Ohh yeah i definitely understood the un-mounting and re-mounting part but now I see the problem. Without the tire mounting machine that shops have its going to be a PITA to rotate those tires, that is if its at all possible.

Thank you!

Wheels look good. I have always liked the mesh look.

What were your final offset specs?
