Can we get a close up of 19x8.5 so we can see the differences between 8.5 and 9.5?
There's only 2 differences. The rim is one inch narrower (you won't be able to see the diff in a pic unless someone has a 9.5 and and 8.5 with no tire on it) and the offset is available in 45, 40 and 35 (stock is 45 and most opt for 40, which means it sticks out 5mm more). Here' s pic of the stock gemini 19 x 9.5 vs a Replika R241 19x8.5. Tire size is the same. The stock wheel looks larger since it's closer to camera. The only real diff that's barely visible is if you run a straight edge along the outside of the OEM wheel the straight edge is up against the metal of the rim. If you run it along the 8.5 wide aftermarket rim, it's up against the rubber of the tire which will help reduce curb rash.
