I would take the AMR because of the offset to fit better. When I had my 10 I skipped the RTR for that reason the offset is a little to far out and sticks out to far for my liking.

Something to keep in mind is that tires for '19s are expensive and the availability is not a great as 18's or 20's.

My budget is around 2k. Right now I can get AMR 19 with pirelli tires for $1200 with tpms $1400 so i think i might just pull a trigger on that set. I am just not a big fan of pirelli. I am going with standard setup. I just dont like that staggered rear tires are skinnier then front.

Thank you all for the advice

I bought the 18" AMR's staggered for my 05 GT:

my friend got the 19" AMR's:

Both are aluminum wheels but for some reason, the RTR's weigh about 2lbs more each. On your rotation mass, adding weight hurts you more than adding the same weigh to your trunk. Go AMR and don't look back!

19 will be a very rough ride, even 18s can be rough but personally I would stay with 18's I like the look.

Why is that?? I was also wondering about that and did a lot of research and so far you are the only one that said that. Everybody including AM said that I wont notice any difference.

when I had 19's on my 2010 I really didnt notice much difference in ride. One thing i was happy about is the 19's seem to be the perfect size. 18's have WAY to much sidewall for tires and looks like your on truck tires.
I had Drag DR37 19x9.5 rear and 19x8 front

Avant Garde has the same set up with their M310 wheels. These are low pressure cast though, so they have a higher load rating, use less material so they're lighter, and they look great in Matte Black, or Silver!
