Default Aftermarket wheels to keep staggered setup...

What are all of you thinking for aftermarket wheels? Keep staggered set-up or not? Not a whole lot of choices out there for 19x8's for the rear.

I'm just planning to do uniform wheel sizes with a little bit of stretch in the rear if needed. Tires will still be 255/235

Until the car actually arrives here, and can get test fitted by places like Tirerack, you are really not going to see too many options. Custom build may be the way to go if you are really eager to do something. Of course, this means big $$$$.

Same. 19x8.5, to be exact.

Yep, me too. Some would argue about increased weight doing it that way, but I'm sure it's negligible.

Yeah, we're talking about an increase of what? A 12.5% wider wheel times 2? On a 3500 pound car? Meh.
