need help for new rims? Newbie thanks
Hey everyone,
I'm pretty tired of my rims and thought I'd move up in the world but finally realized that I can't just slap any ole rims on like I did the last time. I've been looking at hre's but wondered just how accurate the fitment pages are on their website.
here's the link

I like the c20's. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Different model. Tire size? rim size? Offset? Do I really need to know these things? I did a search but there's too many posts that don't cover exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks again.

Rim Specs
I was told to go with the following:
19x8.5 - 235/35/19
19x9.5 - 265/30/19
I hear that you could go with 19x10 but it depends on the rim/offset. etc... I hear that 20's will be a pain with having to roll the fenders, avoiding pot-holes (bent rims) and rubbing..............
Look at the 2 threads:
