I'm sort of a newbie.... So ya as the title says... I have a 96 I30, I just had some 18's on it for a few months and they fit/looked great. BUT, they were my brothers (he lost license for 6 months) so theyre gone now and I have the opprtunity to buy some Stern ST-1 Beast III staggered 19's 8.5" front 9.5" rear. Pretty sure theyll fit (havent gone to test fit them yet) but all I want to know is do I need bigger brakes for this wheel size upgrade? Or would lifetime free ceramic stock brake pads be just fine? Please let me know I want these rims!!!! Thx

19's should be fine. Hope the offset works on the max

Staggered on a Max will probably result in some people making negative comments, so be ready for it

Its actually an I30....and the stagger should make the rears look more flush with the car instead of sittin in so far.....but anyway my question was am I gonna need bigger brakes for such big wheels compared to stock? I mean 9.5" rear is pretty FAT so am I gonna need to upgrade to bigger brakes????
