thx for the post, this is what I was looking for.

Is the stock rim 19x8 in the front? or 19x8.5?

Would 20mm front 25mm rear be too much? What does the hub centric ring do?

Yeah, stock size is 19x8 F, 19x8.5 R. Trust me, 15mm f and 20mm R already makes a whole world of difference in looks, stick with this setup.

thx ericson.

aite - i just wanted to go as wide as possible if I had an 8 in the front.

i looked on-line about the hub-centric ring

the car looks good now! - that was one of my major complaints with the stock setup.

Hey I notice alot of you have the hub centric thing in addition to the Kics spacer-- I have a 20mm set for my rears and I'm wondering what problems I might have if I don't install one of those...

There is possibility of vibration. its not guaranteed, but the hubcentric rings will fill the space that typically causes vibration. The hubcentric rings are not that expensive, so I would recommend you get them, just in case. You might not ever have a problem, but I wouldnt take a chance with parts like wheels, hubs, lugs, etc.

-are your spacers made by Project Kics? If they are H&R, the spacer itself is hubcentric.

That looks really good! I'm wondering how it would look with the Brembo's? Would they look too recessed behind the stock 19's? Also, how long is the install on this..is it a DIY type job?
