Get them in the 9's and 10's. What kinda prices are you getting?

Also, what kinda tires?

The reason I said 19x9F 19.10R is because it's a sure bet that it'll fit. I'd rather be safe then sorry, and it's already a massively wide rim.

Bump up to 20's and for 200$ I think I might be able to do that.

Let me ask around to see if one of my vendors can beat that price.

I'm gonna get a price on 19x8.5F because one of the guys I got a price from said they'd be a better fit. 19x9F's may fit. He doesn't want to take the risk right now without more research.

HRE 843R Charcoal Finish w. Mich PS2's
19x8.5F + 19x10R
$6939

Tires come mounted and balanced Everything's new and fresh with bolts.

There is no need to get 19x9 as that extra half an inch will not give you extra lip. No need to waste money. For the 840R series, you will have 1.5" front and 3" rear lip without any modifications.

If you want a better quote, please send me an e-mail: harris@hartonmotorwerks.com

Did you ever consider the 540R series? Just wondering what swayed you to the 840R series.

540R series is played out. Lots and lots of cars with them running around. I think that's cool to go with something different. I own a set of 841R's, so obviously I'm a big fan of the 840R series.

No matter what series you choose though, you can't go wrong with HRE.

Funny you say that. I am waiting for 543R's. I think both of our cars are brilliant silver. Either should look good. I hope so, at least.
