ahh thanks that helps a little bit!

Then what advantages/cons does getting 9.5 over 10.5 in the width of the wheel have? And I see many people buying spacers - can't you just get a wheel with a more positive offset instead?

And how do I know what offsets do get in different wheels? For example I see some wheels that are 19x9.5 +22, and others that are 19x9.5 +15, or +45. How big of a difference are those from each other? Do I need to get anything extra if there are differences in offsets from my OEM 18 inch base wheels, or can I just put them on the car without any problems?

Also, how do I know what tires will fit for the wheels I'm getting?
