They sure beat my stock 17s! I ran my stock tires to about 45,000 miles, so I needed to buy tires one way or another. I figured why buy new tires and keep my stock wheels, when I can buy some new take-offs for about the same price.
Wheels, tires, lugs & locks, TPMS (not needed), already mounted and balanced for 800$

I was also debating the staggered setup. My friend went 8.5 up front and 10 in the back (got as a package) and I just thought 8.5 up front looked too sunken for my taste. I went with the machined matte black AMR's 19x9.5 all around on 275/40's. Drop will be done shortly to eliminate 4x4 status. I was originally planning on getting the face powdercoated matte black but the look actually grew on me.

I ment sunken in the sense that it sits kinda far inside the wheel well. an 8.5 rim is only half an inch wider than the stock rims.

I was personally not a big fan of how far the stock rims were inside the wheel well
