i would like to get a set of rims that are interchangable between both =P i was buying these vmrs for the pre lci but we do have an lci at home incase i wanted to swap it out ? what do you recommend for this dual purpose =P hehe
Your supplier doesn't know what he is talking. VMR doesn't even have et40 as possibility and 9.5 et40 wouldn't fit to front, because it will hit the shocks inside. Et35 is the minimum and it leaves about 2mm gap to stock shocks.

The concavity doesn't change with offset, so et22 and et33 etc have same concavity, it changes only if you get more wider wheel.

The front is the same between pre-lci and lci, so 19x9.5 et33 with 235/35/19 will fit to both cars.

As for the rear i would go with 19x10 et38 and use 10mm spacer at rear with pre-lci. This would mean that your cars would have identical look at rear and most likely wont need fender roll. Lci has 8mm/side wider rear track.

LCI with 19x10 et38= would extend to the same point as Pre-lci with 19x10 et30.
So if you add spacer to your PRE-LCI with 19x10 et38+10mm spacer= et28. It would only be 2mm difference.
