New owner needs a bit of help/suggestion for 19's (searched for 3 hours!)
Hey all,
First, I apologize for posting this, but I seriously did search for over 3 hours on this site and could not quite come up with the info I wanted.
I'll try to make it short and sweet.
I just bought a 08x yesterday (white, 38K) and am looking to get 19's on it. Specifically, I like the TSW Jarama's. I see many X owners go with the staggered look. Why is that? Anyways, wheelsnext.com has the Jaramas as such: 19 x 8 and 19 x 9.5. (no 8.5 wide version for the front is available). --also, the site does not list the offset specs--
What size tires should I go with in order to avoid issues with rubbing? I do plan to get H & R Springs--will I have any issues at that point? Thanks in advance. I truly appreciate your help!

Sorry to waste time asking questions about the TSW's...I think I've decided on going with good ol 19" M45 wheels. Now just to be able to find them. On H & R Springs, to have the M45 wheels look the best, I need:
*15mm spacer or 20? and then new lug nuts/studs I'm assuming?
And from what I've been reading, 245/40's the whole way around, correct? I'd like the wheels/tires to be about flush with the wheel wells. Again, I have an 08 X sedan....thanks!
