These are dirt cheap, opinions? Save the "buy Work or Wald rims" for people living with their parents without two kids and a mortgage lol. As a basic set of summer rims would these fit ok with a +40 offset?

or these staggered set with 25mm front 30mm rear:

i am just wondering how they will fit in a staggered configuration with that 25/30 offset. Any chance I would need to mess with my fenders?

What about these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-Pr...item2a0a6f5b60 ? Cheaper and free shipping. Similar specs up front and just a bit more aggressive in the rear.

this is a daily, don't want to stretch or mod the fenders, drive 75 miles a day on this thing.. I have Tein SS on, so conservative is what I am after..

so bottom line, will the 19x8 +25fr and 19x9 +30 rear fit with 225/35/19 and 245/35/19? Or should I stick to 19x8 +40 fr/rear with 245/35/19 on both? Again don't want to mod anything just put on and drive.
