And that video right there is the reason I’ll never run spacers. Thx for posting.

I think getting offset wheels is only slightly better though, no spacer to worry about but the save changes to your suspension, the proper way to make the vehicle wider is allot of new suspension parts. I think this likely matters allot more when your spacing out several inches than a couple mm as well. I have very offset wheels on my RzR when defiantly affects the scrub radius, but out in the sand I'm not as concerned with this, it's easily worth the extra stability, I have had it up on two wheels before, which could likely result in a roll over without the offset.
I'm going to be getting some offset wheels, since they are .5" wider I'm also changing the offset by 5mm. I doubt this will be enough change to matter much, but I guess I'm going to find out.

With the 20/25 spacer setup are you having any rubbing issues? I plan on using the same wheels with the moderate springs.
Also for the record I have been using spacers for years on many of my cars. My Delta Integrale Evo 2 has 15mm all around, my Lancer Evo 6 has 25mm all around, and my Lotus Exige had 15mm as well. All were hubcentic of course, and I drove them hard. No different really than having a wheel with a lower offset, just don't go cheap and get a substandard set of spacers.
I believe you mentioned before that you used a set of dorman lug nuts with the vorsteiners. Could you confirm what size you used? I know M14x1.5, but I guess i'm curious the length and I guess they are 21mm hex? Thanks.
Are you coming from the stock Aeros or the 19s? Did you use the stock lugs or did you buy new black ones?

I recently put 255/40/19 on the stock sport wheels and although they are 27” dia. vs. 26.4” I really like them a lot and have only lost about 5% on efficiency, clearance is not a problem on height, Speedo matches my gps phone app at 80mph, they are more comfortable as I went from 3.7” to 4” on sidewall height for the rubber, they are the conti extereme contact dws06 and are 24.8 lbs. so not much heavier than stock and a huge, huge difference in handling

So what's a good option for a nice 19" wheel? Not crazy money, not too heavy but not too light, looks nice enough...etc. The car is AWD so maybe not staggered.

No hub rings are needed and they fit performance and non performance models. Thanks for your question.

So what's the best size to go with for aftermarket wheels? I'm thinking 19s for the summer. How wide though for the AWD. I know to do them square. I plan on Pilot Sports. I want good road feel so I don't want to put too large of a tire on it. What fits?
These look great. What is the delivery time for an order? What are the front and rear offsets?
