anyways, getting back on topic...
recently got a pearl 08 is250 
- finally made up my mind on what wheels to get decided to go with the SSR MS1s
But before i order em wanted to see if any of you guys recommend a place to get em for the best price or to make a change in the size
- i was planning on getting them from vivid racing and going with •Front: 19 x 8, Rear 19 x 9 •Bolt Pattern: 5-114.3 cause thats the size i saw that the FSPORTs come in and the tires hankook 225/40/19 in the front and 255/40/19 in the back what do you guys think?

are you sure those tire sizes aren't 225/35-19 and 255/35/-19?
im really not sure the tires that came with my car are 225/40-18 so i assumed thats how the 19s would be do u suggest i get the 35 instead?

Offset info: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/...jsp?techid=101
I'm not 100% sure on what you want to do (nor do I actually know what offsets give you the flush look) but that's a quick little rundown about wheel offsets.
Just to be clear, tire specifications are usually as follows: XXX / YY / ZZ.
XXX = Tire width
YY = Sidewall height, directly related to tire width (ratio of width to height)
ZZ = Rim size
I'll try to find a link to a tire size calculator later since I can't seem to find it at the moment, but there is a web app that you can input sizes in so you can get the right size tires for your application. This is useful since it looks like you are getting staggered wheels, which would entail different width fronts/backs so a 275 tire with a 40 sidewall is going to be larger in diameter than a 225 with the same sidewall height.
I apologize if you already knew this stuff, just wanted to be clear before you dropped a chunk of change on something that wasn't what you were expecting.
In any case, I'd look up that thread projectdna suggested, lots of useful information there.
