Default Advice on this wheels

I am buying a set of carlsson wheels. Size are 19x8.5 fronts and 19x9.5 rears. The wheels are STAGGERED set up. What are Staggered means? Also the tire sizes are 235-35-19 and 265-30-19. So everything seems okay here?

Here are the pics:

Staggered means the Front wheels and Rear wheels have different width, making it staggered. What is the PCD on these wheels.. Dont get it mixed up especially if ure buying carlsson, it might be from a merc and will not fit. Ask about offsets too. Then post em here for members to see if it is a good setup.

PCD in simpler terms are the bolt pattern. Our cars uses 5x114.3 and Audi i believe uses 5x112. Im not sure if you can work around it, but i advise not to. get one with 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

They were OEM rims. From a clublexus member, off a 2002 IS300. I bought them from the girl i knew and put them on my Gs400 for the winter when she went away to college. So they went from IS>A4>GS.

The wheel size is fine. You just need to find the bolt pattern and offsets to see if it will work.
