A wheel like this needs huge calipers and rotors with all that open space. Your average X can't run these without looking silly.. Goes for a lot of other wheels as well aesthetically.

rm2342: The OEM BBK filled my 19" MD3P's real well. The brakes filling the wheel is relative to the wheel size.

Or if you prefer the step lip, SC3C-SL; Cars with this wheel.

Added the 5mm spacers. Tried adding 2-5mm spacers on one wheel to net a +30 but I didn't want to lower the car on the ground as there wasn't enough threads to secure the lugnuts.
So the specs:
Before: 245/40-19x9.5 +40
After: 245/40-19x9.5 +35
Now I haven't drove the car with the spacers. I did turn the wheels right/left and inspected the inner wheelwell. Saw no issues of tires touching anything. Also even with the Swift springs I don't foresee any fender issues. I do want to run a 255/40 though. The 245's just look stretched on the 9.5" wide wheel. I'm curious if a 9.0 would've avoided the tire stretch. Lastly, need a front camber kit. I can see the front wheels cambered and I hate that. I much rather have a squared alignment. Gonna follow up with SPL on front camber arms.
So what have I learned.... I think the following is a perfect set-up for the rwd sedan;
Front: 255/40-19x9.5 +35 (possibly a 245/40-19x9.0 +35)
Rear: 285/35-19x10.5 +45
So the specs:
Before: 245/40-19x9.5 +40
After: 245/40-19x9.5 +35

If someone can help me, I got 19x9.5 +30 (all around) and I am looking to go pretty low, but having a hard time about the wheels to put on, was thinking 245/35 all around, how does that sounds.
