Hello All,

I am a relatively new member to the forum & I joined for just these scenarios.

I have a '10 PG Touring/Sport Z and the stock (I think) tires are ready to go. I am in a delima with spending the money to replace all four tires for my stock 19's (which I don't think are terrible rims) or spending the cash to get some new wheels.

I bet most of you will naturally say just get new wheels but I find it hard to commit to spending 5k on wheels. I have been looking at some te's or gt-s wheels because you all make them look so good! I am open to other color/rim combos.

If I do decide to get new tires for my Rays I've seen people going wider then stock. Does this have a advantage?
What are some more quality reasonable wheel/tire packages available?
What's the consensus on 19's vs. 20's?
Whats a good offset for our car? I don't like the wheels to stick out of the fender.
I see the word spacer being thrown around a lot. Is this due to not getting the appropriate offset to start?

Sorry for the lack of knowledge but I appreciate all of you help with this. Seems like most of you have been around the block a few times.
