I guess you decided on getting the A-disc for the front, but I just wanted to let you know that I put on my rims and the O-disc in the front was not an issue. Fitment was great and there's plenty of clearance.

XG (gold) color = in stock.
Delivery: 4-5days after order confirmation.
Pricing on these is as follows
(19 x 8) x 2 = 5570 US$1514
(19 x 9.5) x 2 = 5860 US$1592
Shipping etc 2200 US$597

-------

Now its a bit more expensive cuz Middle East/Asia prices are more because of less dealers.

Only questions is the tire size. Whats better 245 or 255 or 275?


245 front and 275 rear.

Props on the wheels, those are big $$$$!

So it's almost time for bed and going to place my order tomorrow when for some reason I go over my email and this thread and think why am I getting the front in 19 x 8.0 +38 A disc (50mm lip)

I have the option to go for a wider rim in 19 x 8.5 +45 Standard A disk.
or from my old thread 19 x 8.5 +42 O disk (this gets me a 62mm lip). This 0 disc is wider than the 8.5 +45 A disk by 3mm according to http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp

http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/wheels/...s-xx/vs-xx.pdf

So I guess to get the perfect wheels I will scrap 8.0 off my list and need some help -

19 x 8.5 +45 Standard A disk 50mm lip
or
19 x 8.5 +42 Deep Rim O disk 62mm lip

Which one?

Thanks again.

This one for sure.

19 x 8.5 +42 Deep Rim O disk 62mm lip in the front.

Are you still going wider in the rear? If you go with the 9.5" +42, you will need to roll the rears.

Yes I am going 19 x 9.5 +42 in the rear with deep rim. This gives me 75 mm of lip. Preferably on toyo t1r 275/35/19 and I am on stock suspension with no plans of lowering.

Someone on the second page of this thread said he ran the same offset fine with no rubbing. Im worried now.

Wheelmaster specs says:

Suspension: Package is 27 mm (1.1'') closer to suspension/brakes components. Make sure that you have enough room for that. If not, consider lower offset, narrower tires or using spacers.

FenderS: Package will stick out 33 mm (1.3'') farther. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider narrower tires or higher offset.

Wheelwells: Will fill out the wheelwell by extra 4 mm. Almost no difference

IF you do rub at all it will only be on hard turns since you're on the stock suspension. Rolling the fenders yourself is a pretty easy task so i wouldnt worry about the specs you're going with.

I will sleep on it tonight and think about

going staggered (gets me an extra 13mm lip only for the rear) or just going 19 x 8.5 +42 deep lip (62mm lip).

Do you know if a non-staggered setup would still let me have a flush rear - 245/40/19.

I think you should be fine with the 19x9.5 +42 in regards to rubbing. I'm runnning the same width on a stock suspension with a +45 and never rubbed once. I wouldn't worry about rubbing with your setup, then only time you might rub is with passengers in the rear while taking a hard turn. Just order the wheels, if you do have problems, it will take a very mild fender roll to take care of it.

Well I have decided that it's more practical to rotate my tires in sacrific of a 13mm lip (19 x 8.5 +42 vs 19 x 9.5 +42) so I will go for 19 x 8.5 +42 O disc with a lip of 62mm.

There are next to no companies here that roll fenders for a reasonable price (they charge $200 to do it) so forget the 9.5

I guess with the 8.5 I can even lower it in the future.

I'm sure it will look a bit odd not lowered on 245/40/19 but that's alright for now

awwww... BOOOOOO! staggered FTMFW!!! those woulda been soooo hot. I'm tellin you Clint, you can roll your fenders yourself with ease. There's a DIY thread here on the forums, search member 'accordfreak' and you'll find it. If you're gonna drop that kinda cash on wheels you gotta get what you really want!

are there any real benefits of going staggered aside from looks?

Since I live in the Middle East with temps soaring up to 50C on summers and my car being a daily driver (ive put on 21000kms in 9 months), I need to rotate my rims.

and I guess with 8.5's I can drop it later if i go with 245/40's.
