--DON'T get 8,5'' in the rear, you will loose all concavity of the chr, unfortunately in 20'' diameter they come in 10 or 10,5'' but their offset is a bit stretched out and you will most probably need to work the liner a bit.

--The chr brilliant silver may be nice but the titan matt finish is all the money.

--Anyway your ideal (and maxed out) et specs are:
Front 8,5J et22 (this means you will need 10mm spacers on the 19'' chr)
Rear 9,5J et35 or 10J et43
Tires 235/35 f, 265/30 r

Good luck
hi
thank you so much for your advise and opinion, I agreed when you say "looks more in harmony with the mass of the car", I do have now 19" wheels i just wanted to give a try....I saw the hamann style.

I will consider the titan matt finish too , you are right.

Thank you so much will post some pics....In the worse scenario can always go back to 19".....
