I'm getting quoted on Front 19x8.5 et42 Rear 19x9.5 et40 but I'm hoping to run F 235 40 19 and R 265 35 19 But this may not be possible ?
What you you make of the VC7 Wheel in the flesh ? did you go for silver or grey.. Interested to see how the wheels sit at the arch of the car when lowered ?

You probably understand this. But for other people happening on this thread:
ET in the wheel size is from the German word Einpresstiefe. It means offset. It's the difference between the vertical plane where the wheel hub meets the lug surface and the vertical line that would be the center of the wheel if you divided the rim portion in two equal sections. Compare the offset on your new wheels to the ones from your old (or stock) wheels to see where the tire is going to sit relative to the fender (on the outside) and the inside of the wheel well (on the inside).
