Of course, that bit of rationalization only works if you factor in the tires. And admittedly, it is a rationalization. I get that.

I just recently bought some Vossen CV3s, I went with the 19x8.5 and 19x10. I believe the offset was +32 on the fronts, and +37 on the back, with that setup Diego recommended going with 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 for tire sizes

You went staggered on an AWD car?

It certainly does give me the answers I was hoping for. When the inheritance funds start trickling in, I'll be making final arrangements on purchasing the rims from N4S. They seem to be the go-to retailer that Diego is referencing here.
So what tire sizes are we talking about on the new 19's? Anyone?
OEM
Front - 18" x 7.5", 225/50-18
Rears - 18" x 8.5", 245/45-18
VOSSENS
Front - 19" x 8.5", ???/??-19
Rears - 19" x 10.0", ???/??-19

Best fit for diameter would be 245/40/19F 285/35/19R, since you aren't dropped might want 275/35/19 in back depending on offset. For offset I'd go +40 F +45 R

I thought I already listed them for you in a PM, but maybe you were too bummed about not clearing the BBK that you missed it.

As PSS, right now those 4 tires are at TireRack.com for $1198 plus shipping. However, if Need for Speed can package it all up nice and tidy... have to see what they will do as I get this together in the next few weeks.
Offsets... OMG, I am such an ignorant noob about offsets.
That you're advice too, then, Diego?
+40 Front, 245/40/19
+45 Rear, 275/35/19

Yes, yes. It's a party. LOL
Figure to buy them mid-month (February). Although they won't go on the car until sometime in March, because Winter. Figure they'll sit in a beautiful big pile in the corner of the Family Room. The wife will love that.
In other news, Tony from Fast Intentions wrote me yesterday to say the RHFC that I ordered will be built this week, and ship before week's end. Those will be sitting in the corner of my office until March as well.
Winter really sucks.
I can't speak for him, but I suspect that was part of Newt's planning.
