I found a really good deal on a set of 19x8 and 20x10.5. I was wondering if anyone is running this set up or know anyone running this type of staggard fitment with the 19s and 20s and how do they look/fit??? Pictures would be nice. Thanks guys.

i personally dont think any thing bigger than an 18 on the new edges looks good

Well I'm personally not sure on the look of anything bigger than 18s. I'm running 18s all around right now and would like pics if anyone has any so I'm able to make an educated decision.

Like said above, don't do dubb's on your car, please?!?!?!, pretty please?!?!?

I think there are only a few 19" wheels that look good, and 20" wheels never look good on new edges.

what about 18x9 19x10 ratio? I'm not looking to lower the car and just would like to have a very nice stance and I've always like the look of the staggard sizes. I wish they made the wheel I'm running now wider I'd buy more like these. 18x7.5s all around, not too sexy.

I think it really depends on the wheel. IMHO, five spoke designs that have thinner spokes, such as the 03 cobra's, the new edge roush wheels, the 2000 Cobra R wheels, look good in staggered fitments, but otherwise, I don't think that looks good, not to mention your not doing yourself any favors performance wise if you go with that big of a wheel.

very true performance wise but I guess that's not my biggest concern as of yet since the money is there for looks just not so much yet for the guts. With using wheel spacers is there anything to worry about along the lines of spinning and tires and running the wheels at high speeds, such as the spacer's lugs weakening or having them back off?

I've never heard of anything like that, and if you torque them down correctly, they should be fine.

To the OP, you are correct. Spacers (bolt-on or slip-on) do place more stress on your original studs. If you decide to use spacers, be sure to replace your original studs with higher quality ones. Check out ARP.
