I would go with 19x8.5 on 235/35/19 (ET 35) on front and 19x9.5 on 265/30/19 (ET 40) rear.

This wouldn't give you any problems and look good.

I don't think you can get 11s on the rear.

You could go with 10s, but you might have to roll the fenders.

You can check with the Tire Rack to be sure.

i was a tire mod on an acura site and what i found while doing that, is that you dont put anything bigger than 19" rims on a small car. also tire stores dont know **** about proper size fitment and only care about the sale.

on width, well once again its a small car and once you start pushing past 9" width it gets iffy on rubbing. also the BIGGEST factor everyone screws up is the offset. this can be center, positive or negative depending on the cars suspension setup from the maker. acura's used a positive offset and a pretty high one at that. the offset is based on the lug mounting area in comparison to the edge of the rim.

so basically you need to find out what the offset of the stock rims are and then compare that to the rim you want to put on.

also i fully agree that 11" width rims are a serious stretch fitmentwise.

I would go 11 if there arent any clearance issuse except a little rolling of the fenders. People are going 11 inch on iforged setups I know for a fact. push the envelope buddy.

Im putting BBS LM. I might go with 19X10 if 11 will cause to much trouble. I dont mind rolling my fenders. Whats the catch on rolling fenders anyway?

if not done right look like crap and can mess up the paint. obviously it will change the lines of the car slightly. definately requires someone who know what they are doing.

all its doing is creating a little more clearance so the tire dosent touch inside the fender well. Its actually no biggy

since when is messing with the wheel well on a 40K + car and putting on rims that are going to get bent as soon as it hits a pot hole.

edit: no big deal, forgot that part

ive have rolled fenders on freaking m5 m3 911 turbos and very high end vehicles so if you are worried about bending a wheel on you 40k car then keep your stocks. Im speaking form experience im not guessing or assuming
