You need to list the offsets too. Definitely go staggered
both sets are pretty much the same except one with more spokes, I'd go with the ACE
my current wheels for the winter now are
Front:19x8.5+20 Rear: 19x9.5 +15
215/35/19 and 245/35/19 running on coils, rubbing at big bumps, all fenders rolled.
if you gonna run 225 and 255 you probably gonna need those wheels to be in the 25-30 offsets with fenders rolled

Do you want rubbing? Do you want to have to do fender work?

A lot of members on here go with FORM > FUNCTION. Thats cool, and it may look good ... but thats not me... Personally I like being able to drive the crap out of my car.

Id go with...

19x8.5 +30 235/35/19
19x9.5 +35 265/30/19 or 265/35/19

And honestly Id even say you can go +35 in the front. (The lower the number - the more aggressive the offset)

Wheels are FLUSH (NOT hellaflush!!!)... NO fender work, NO rubbing, and still LOOKS GOOD. (Im lowered 1.4" front and 1.3" rear)




Everyone is going to have their own opinions on what the "best" setup is... some people like tucking with tons of camber... some people ride flush ... some people go hellalush. Its all a matter of what you like.

If you like the look of those wheels, you might want to look into TSW wheels as well. They have some that look exactly like those. Perhaps cheaper too...but not 100% sure.

I would go with first one. Make sure it's clear your front break.

search/google much?

the ACE Strada wheels only come in the following specs:

19 x 8.5 +20
19 x 9.5 +25

(http://www.acealloywheel.com/mesh-wh...el_1_1039.html)

you'll need to roll your fenders and run 215/35-19 + 245/35-19. no exceptions.

--

Petrol Vengeance comes in the following specs:

19 x 8 +20, +40
19 x 9.5 +20, +35

given those widths, @ +20 offset you'll need rolled fenders and 215/35-19 + 245/35-19.

@ +40/+35, you can run 225/35-19 + 265/30-19 (or 265/35-19).

so, if you don't want to roll your fenders if you're looking at either/or of the two wheels, you only have one choice given the specs.

which ever rim I go with, I have to get my fender roll?

I really hate to get it roll if is unnecessary and is it b/c I'm running stagger is that why it have to get it roll?

running a staggered set-up has nothing to do with why you have to get your fenders rolled.

running wheels that are wider than the widths of oem wheels AND considerably lower/aggressive offsets means that you have to get your fenders rolled.

if you go with...

19 x 8 +40
19 x 9.5 +35

you won't have to roll your fenders

based on the two wheels you're looking at, only the Petrol Vengence has those specs.

also, you might want to e-mail/call the manufacturer and find out if 19x8 +40 clears the IS350 front brake calipers. if not, you'll have to run spacers to push the wheels out, which will effectively lower the offset of the wheels.
