time to read an search...good rule of thumb before asking questions that have most likely been asked numerous times.

9.5 +35 offset has been proven to work all around the car with a nice "flush" fit. Many variables tho. ride height, tire size, wheel offset. Educate yourself and immerse yourself in the stick threads. I only say this bc most ppl with do the exact same thing i did due to not wanted to repeat themselves. I have been going back and forth for months in trying to determine the exact wheel, look, and stance im trying to achieve! GOODLUCK!

19 X 9 (40-mm offset) all the way around 255/35ZR19s... and don't stagger the wheels...it will screw up the handling. I'm on TRD 1" lowering springs.

Stagger it FTW! Lol my handling is just fine and I drive my car hard. However 2tc is right my handling would be even better if I didn't stagger but it's not like I'm auto x my car or swerve threw traffic.

I'm 18x9.5" all around and I think I'd have room for 18x10-10.5 in the rear. so width is fine, as far as the diameter. I think you will be fine on the S-Tech's if you stagger it, but you're front wheels might need fender roll (don't quote me on the fender roll).

No, but I'm 225 all around, and I'm maxed out on BC Racing BR Series Coilovers.

I can run 19's if I wanted to, but I'd have to raise my car a bit, and I'd still probably need a front fender roll, the rear's are fine for me at 9.5 even if I went 19".

You do realize you have a FWD car?.....NOT a RWD?

No point in Staggering Wheels...you be a Poser.

People do it for looks, not so much function.

There' are those sayings that people live by: "Form over function" or "Function over form"
