As promised: pics. I think they look pretty good especially for the price. Also was happy with tire rack, they came with a socket, instructions, centering rings on the wheels: very easy.

No, I have pirelli sottozero winter. They are, or were, on closeout on tire rack for 160 each.

Got it. Let me look prior threads for your comments about vibration / rubbing.

I was trying to follow the thread from the beginning but its 16+ pages long now...

I just want to confirm before I pull the trigger on a wheel/tire bundle i created that a 19×9.5 wheel with +45mm offset and a 265/30 tire will work without any fitment issues

They won't ship wheel locks. Just lug nuts and centering rings. If you want wheel locks, you'll have to order them from somewhere else... Just so you know!

Put the winters on yesterday. Wheels sit at the same spot as OE. Handling is quite affected with 18x8 (+40) wheels and 235 tires. Will have to be careful driving with those...

Replying to myself:
After driving the car again today in colder weather, handling is not that bad.

Fine by me. I despise wheel locks. Always the first thing to go. My car goes from home garage to parking garage mostly so not really worried about wheels getting stolen. But good to know.

Looks good! My setup will be similar. I’m getting the P Zero 265/35/19 this Friday. Stock black rim for winter and bronze for summer.

Easy info to find searching on Google. 19x9.5 +60.

For my winter setup, I used 18x8 +40 and the exterior of the wheels sit at the exact same spot as OE. You have to be careful to think not just about the offset, but also the wheel width. There are some great calculator online (some will even show you a drawing of the two wheels you compared).

Yes it will work.

i was trying to use willtheyfit.com lol but i didnt know the oem offset. the wheel stuff has always terribly confused me. so if i get a higher + offset, i need to maybe reduce the wheel width to compensate?

honestly for now im probably going to just order a set of all season tires in the OEM size since i already have a second set of OEM wheels.
