Hey guys I wanted to purchase some wheels but I'm not sure what tire width will look good. I want more of an aggressive stance so I was thinking about 19X10 or 19X10.5 for the rear. Anyone got any pictures of there current wide tire set up.

I have went with a 245 X 35 X 18 square set up. I had a staggered, but the life of the staggered tires are shortened by the lack of ability to rotate, and the pot holes in Illinois are killers especially when going down road from a rain and you hit a nasty hole. I am sure if I had 19" rims, one would have bent. And some 19's will increase the wheel gap, and I don't want to be driving a snow plow in the winter either if I drop the car. One of the car mags had an article comparing wheels from the stock 18 to 20 recently. At the end of the test, 18 came out best with lighter weight, and responsiveness, but the larger sizes are for bling. (A big surprise for me and reasoning for my staying with 18).

This is 19x8.5 ET40/19x10 ET38, with 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 tires.



Here's something a tad more aggressive in the front. 19x9.5 ET33/19x10 ET38 with 235/35/19 and 255/30/19. Since you have an xi model you would need a taller/wider rear tire than that though.
