MS-1 or SC1 will look good on your ride! I believe dappy is selling his MS-1 soon, you can also PM lexboi250 to see if he sold his SC1 yet.

SSR's hands down. Sc1 is my second chose and vossens in 3rd. There's a pretty big price difference between ssr's and work compared to vossens yah know.

for me it depends...for a smooth look-vossens, for a drift machine-works, for my everyday STREET BRUISER-SSRs without a doubt! So I guess it all depends on what look you're going for...

How risky is using 19x9+31 with 225/35/19 & 19x10 +24 with 245/35/19 with my AWD system? I can't seem to populate the diameter diff on 1010 tires calculator.

Thanks P. Both are actually the source of my dilemma.

The tires on the front is good, the rear you need 265/30/19.

dappy and lexboi250 are good guys to deal with!

the ssr's are amazing. please get them.

also i dont know which wheel is the strongest and most durable but depending on your roads that is always important. i was a little dissapointed about how heavy my vs-xx's were, but their durability has saved me. LA ghetto roads would have eaten a lesser wheel by now. im in fact shocked that i havnt hurt my wheels yet.

I'd say Work or SSR.

Vossen is meant to be 20s+.

he's got an AWD. i don't think 225F and 265R is a good combination for AWD. i may be wrong though LoL

If I decide SSR, I would be buying a lightly used set. Hence the reason I was inquiring about the above tire set up which probably would not be recommended for the AWD. I hate having to buy tires separately, so If any AWD owners are running the above set-up w/o any problems pls LMK.

Also, will I rub with those offsets? Tires are Hankook V12 evo. LMK *checking wheel sticky thread in mean time

you need some fender mods to run these wheels, even with 245 tires, but bad news is that you are gonna need 265/30/19 for your awd that results more fender works than using 245 tires. good luck man, they are nice wheels.
