Will this 19" setup work (for show only)

AXIS HIRO 19" Bronze Wheels Staggered Set

Complete set with tires

• Front wheels: 19" x 8.5"
• Rear wheels: 19" x 9.5"
• Bolt pattern: 5 x 114.3
• Offset for all wheels: 20mm
• Toyo Proxes T1-S Front: 235/35/19
• Toyo Proxes T1-S Rear: 265/30/19

Wheels/tires were taken off a Nissan 350Z at approximately 200 miles due to hydrolock and parting out of car.
Wheels are in excellent/good condition. No curb rash.
Tires have 99.9% tread left.
These wheels will clear Brembo Brakes.
The bronze color is hard to find. Axis Wheels is currently out of stock.

Do you guys think it is worth it?
And will it fit with a drop?
Thanks, these are going to be for show and the occasional cruise

Peope with useless information (haters) dont talk.

I put on a staggered set and they work great. I rub a bit in the back but not very often at all. See my setup in my sig below... I haven't seen anyone else do this yet. I'll have some pics soon..

Correct me if I am wrong, but damage to the AWD system could occur if the rolling diameters are not the same.

your right but that would be if he was running say 18s in the front and 19s in the back. width wouldnt matter, it would only affect handling. positive or negative.

Incorrect. T1S in those sizes have indentical rolling diameter, 25.4" when measured on those exact rim sizes.

This is somewhat common practice on 3000GT's where fronts have far less room than the rear wheel wells.

Ahh I just used a tire size calculator online which came up with a marginal difference between the two sizes.
