XtRmn8 - You're a legend! Can I ask why you have a smaller profile on the rear wheels? Why do you opt for a 30 instead of a 35 like the fronts?

Hey Dan,

If you run a 35 profile tyre at the back it will be taller then the front and may cause issues with ABS and Stability Control due to the variance in wheel speed. A 275/30R19 is very close to a 245/35R19 in terms of overall wheel diameter. A 285/30R19 would be ideal, but the trouble is, its not a very common size and you have limited choice in terms of tyres that come in that size.

Check this calculator as it explains the difference in size: http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator/245-35R19/285-30R19/275-30R19/275-35R19

While staggered cannot be rotated they will give your car a tougher look, so its a trade off between practicality and looks.

Use this calculator to work out how the wheels will sit compared to your factory wheels: http://kgm.tiwing.com/calcs/offsetcalc.htm

The factory wheels are 19x8 ET+36. If you do 8.5" all round or staggered, both options will fill out your guards more and give your car a tougher looking stance.

+1 for the The Wheel Deal, very helpful and good to deal with :spoton:

And according to The Wheel Deal site and this picture it looks like these wheels are Brembo friendly......

I don't know that much about brakes but they kind of look like 4 pot brembo's not 6 but I could be wrong.

On a side note forum member 'worm' is selling a staggered set of 20" TSW nurburgring which are very similar and 20's like you wanted. They're also pretty cheap and brand new. They are bronze but he can get them painted cheap too. Try send him a PM

Although those in the pic are tiny little 4 pots, the six I think are just longer, not wider or taller. Also the web site says big brake compatable, just saying....
