Purchasing First Set of Wheels!
I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on my first set of wheels ever. I just don't know anything about them. Bolt pattern, Offsets, Tire size, etc..... Can anyone chime in and help me out. I'm going through WheelsNext. I'm going to purchase the Tenzo Type M Version 1 Black w/red lip. I'm going staggered 19 x 8.5 front and 19 x 10 rear. The tires I chose are Falken Fk-452 - 245/35/19 front and 245/40/19 rear. I've heard good things about these tires but I know nothing about tire sizes and stretching and all that. Is this a good size for the rims? They were just one of the options on the website. Another thing is Offsets. There are a bunch of options I guess??? WheelsNext doesn't specify Offset when you're ordering them. I found these numbers from the Tenzo website. 19x8.5 - 5x100/114.3 - 45 - 25.4 //// 19x8.5 - 5x112/114.3 - 45 - 25.4 //// 19x8.5 - 5x114.3 - 17 - 25.4 //// 19x10 - 5x114.3 - 22 - 28.4
The numbers are the Wheel size, Bolt pattern, Offset, and weight. I don't know which to choose. I know nothing about Offsets. I would really really appreciate some help with this.
Here is what the wheels look like.

19x8.5 is wayyyyy too small in the front.. You'll be hella tucked once when you lower your car. I'd said go with a 9.5 in the front and a 10.5 in the rear. That'll give it a nice flush stance, of course offsets play an important factor as well. Good luck on buying your first set of wheels. I still remember when I bought my first set of wheels off from an NSX lol. If you're interested, I am selling a set of wheels check it out.

These are the sizes for this wheel. So what would you suggest? Not getting these wheels would be one suggestion I know. I wonder why they don't make these wheels wider?

Well you've seen my wheels and I have Linea Corse wheels (replicas, so what!)and specs are:
Wheels: Linea Corse DYNA in custom Gloss Black 19x8.5 +15, 19x10 +20
Tire Specs: Falken FK452 245/35/19 Front, 275/35/19 Rear
C'mon I need a twin in a different color that can rock the silver or hyperblack colored wheels, it would look awesome on your car!

Actually, if you interested, I wouldn't mind selling my set (wheels/tires/tuner lugs/locks/tpms sensors included).

The vendors here usually get you better rates than just buying off of some website.

I have black Muteki Spline Drive Lugs. Yes, the wheels come with center caps. I painted my center caps black to match the wheels when I got them powder coated. I have a chrome set of spline drive lugs if you're interested if you get your wheels.
