I personally like the first ones. I don't know that much about wheel fitment, but I think you would have to go with a 8" wide wheel out of those choices. I think you would have rubbing issues with 9.5". What is the price you are looking at? Post pics when you get some installed. Good luck.

Both of those look great. Much respect for choosing TSW, they are a great brand.

Kind of expensive though? I'm sure I've seen those on Ebay, take a look!

I think 18 is the perfect size for the A/C, therefore if your options are either 19 or 20 I would pick 19 every time.

it won't be wider than the rim...you'll just end up with a bigger sidewall. but that's got for comfort

Nicely done, what offset did you go on the rear?

If I had to change something with your setup, it would just be the front width to 8.5. Nonetheless, looks good.

The offset is 35 in the back...and the tires r 235/35/19 front 255/35/19 rear. They stick out just a lil but it all goes together nicely. i'll post a pic from the back to show exactly how much they stick out.
