Needed some advice on my situation:

Currently looking at a really good deal consisting of 4 Vertini Drift rims, but thing is they are all the same size at 19x9.5. I noticed almost everyone in this thread has there rear rims bigger at 10.5+. Are there any drawbacks for putting on all of the same size rim other than the deeper/concave look on the rears?

For tires I was then going to put 245/45/R19 on the front and 285/45/R19 in the rears.

Not sure if I need spacers or not to make the wheels flush with the car.

Does my plan make sense? Could I do 295s on the rears as well?

Thanks everyone!

I think the most important point to address is your tire sizes. a 45 series front and rear would make your wheel/tire diameters huge; particularly in the rear. If those are the tire widths you want I would suggest going with the stock sizes of 245/40r19 in FR and 275/35r19 (i.e. stock sizes for Sport Rays) You could also go 285/35 in the rear, but that would be the max.

Other than that the next question is: what are the offsets of the wheels? Depending on the offsets you might want/need spacers

Thanks for the reply AntiVenom. So I will definitely get tires with a lower sidewall, but I was thinking in my case since all 4 of my rims are going to be the same size, shouldnt my rear tires be the same '40' as the fronts instead of '35'? Or vice versa fronts matching the 35 rears?

Also, I am unsure on the offsets, I am guessing this is in regard to the spacing with the new rims I am getting?

Thanks!
