Alessio hmmm...too bling bling no? If on a budget just go 8.5 all around, if not go staggered also I would consider 19's instead.

Thank you...........your answers are what I was looking for in terms of help.
But................ LorinserCClass, you said to bling bling? I thought they were a nice copy of what you have on your car which is way out of my budget..................
When I grow up I want my car to look as nice as LorinserCClass's

Hey Anaheim Drew, if you want to get the look without the price, you can always get replica wheels, like these... http://www.movenwheels.com/
Also, lets say if it was me, and I was to do it all over again. WITHOUT a doubt I would get 19x8.5 fronts on 225 tires, 19X9.5 rears on 245 or 255 tires.

I would go staggered 18 with 8 or 8.5 in front AND 9 in rear. The widest rear with the biggest baddest lip is paramount. I would only go 19 if you're adding big brakes because small rotors in big rims look silly. These would be my choice for custom sized/offset rims with a killer lip from Amistad. $550 each I believe.
Or these Carlsson ultralight replicas $300 each

My logic to getting those wheels, was that I could either get replicas or something totally different, I went with something totally different, just so I can be different from the rest of our pack , and them being cheap as hell also helps the decision!!!
