Is there that much difference in ride quality from using 30 profile on 19"'s or 35 profile on 18"'s?
How about the offset question. Any input?
Thanks

I passed on the matt black wheels but have a chance to buy some silver ones now. The rears on these have an et of 51. My understanding of offsets is very basic but I believe I can use these without a spacer (as opposed to the et68 backs) and end up with the same tire placement within the fender. Is this correct? If this setups works, will the studs stick out too much. Thanks for your help and if I'm totally off base please correct me.

From your avatar pic it seems you have an S4 or GT ?
If so no you won't need open lug nuts, but if you use spacers you will need bolt on spacers that incorporate there own studs to bolt the wheel on.

Decided to take the advice of board members and purchase 18" wheels. I bought 18" 911-997 Carrera III wheels with an 18x8 Et 57 fronts, 18x10 Et 58 rears - tire sizes 235/40 Front & 265/40 Rear. I plan to swap the rear tires for 295/35. The wheels should get here next week.
With the new rear wheels, do I need to purchase spacers to make them fit right? Is there anything else that I should know? Thanks in advance.
