So I have been looking around for some wheels that will work on our cars.

I know that we have lots of choices from Jaguar, Range Rover, Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7 and VW Touareg. I also know that in order for some of those wheels to work we need adapters which not everyone is willing to use on their car, but regardless I found some new wheel choices that are very interesting because they offer staggered or 10" wide wheel fitting possibilities :cool:.

So, 4 of these 19x10s with 79 offset with 20-22mm adapter and 285/30/19 tires all around will fit nicely on the LS and look great.

I know they are replicas buy you can find OEM ones also.

these are my favorites:

They can be also had in 18x8.5 offset +56 front and 19x10 offset +79 rear if anyone wants to have smaller front wheels. Again with Adapters you can have a staggered set.

Also these are sweet:

And if you guys can look up on ebay there are more choices in 18/19 sizes with same offsets.

It might be even possible to combine a 19" staggered set together.

Lots of options.
 
With 245s it will be fine. I have 40 offset with 255 tire and i have no rubbing.
 
I was looking at that last set you posted. The z06 chrome spider wheels. Except I'd find four of the 19x10. I'm not into the lower front size.

I like them because they look like jag barcelonas. But I'm thinking ill just stick to finding a set of barcelonas. That way I can have it lowered and still have a good amount of sidewall.

With these you can have it lowered to and be fine. It would be kind of hard finding 4 rear barcelonas, i mean it would be great but still.
 
I don't want four rear barcelonas! Lol. I want a normal staggered set.
Then ill put on 245/40/19 which will give me a great sidewall.


Having a 285/30/19 tire up front seems crazy.
I live is pothole ville. I'd be bending rims here and there if I was riding 285/30.

they have the same side wall height. why is a 285 more likely to bend a rim?
 
I didn't know how close they were. The 245/40 does have .5 inches more of sidewall lol.

But wouldn't a 10" wide wheel and then a 285 tire. Isn't thy a lot of weight?


I plan to go with barcelonas. Hopefully by march ill have a set and do what I'm going to do with them by them. And then install.

Who ever bought those barcelonas that were on craigslist a couple weeks ago?
 
I like the idea of a 10" wheel in the rear, but not up front. I'm looking at getting a staggered set of wheels, the rears being 10"

18 up front and 19x10 in the rears, I'd like to see that, might look real cool.
 
The Caddy STS V has 18/19" wheels. I think it looks ok but would probably be better off with 19" staggered all around.
 
If you look around the web there are lots of car running 19x10s all around on different cars. Most of them do have stretched tire but some have square set up. Looks pretty good. For myself I am all in staggered wheels but as a second set I would be happy to have 19x10 all around.

We. Mlara and me. Don't know what's going on. We've called and emailed many times but the seller has not returned any calls or emails. They are still posted. But I call every day. I don't think anyone will get them. Maybe it's a scam or something. I want them bad.

ah yes, i was thinking of a 285/35, which would be the same height as a 245/40.

and yes, that's a ton of weight. and pushed far out too, so way more rotational inertia. i wouldn't rock it for performance reasons.
