more opinions of Rims not convinved

I had another thread going but then it got off topic and then i made a couple decisions and finally started asking real questions and then no one would answer again so i'm reposting this to try to get some more responses and different opinions: these are some quick choices two expensive and two cheaper but appealing to me: what does everyone think

MHT Wheels: SUEDE (Black)

Modular Society Wheels: District (Black/Chrome)

Petrol Wheels: Vengence (Black)

MRR Design Wheels: GT-1 (Black)

the top two the more expensive ones obv and would probably wait until next summer if possible, the bottom two i could probably get soon, keep in mind I'm not a track racer so weight is really not an issue to me obviously don't want to put heavy a$$ dubs or something on it but within reason, and i have the awd and i want to go with wider rims could i do like 275/35 all the way around or would i be better with like 255 or 245 and i'm still up in the air over 20's or 19's i only here that it is easier to buy tires for 20's than 19's that's kind of the only benefit i have heard to 20's

Those would be my favorite out of your selection. I would stay with 19" and lower the car.

In terms of design, I like the bottom 2. In terms of quality, I wouldn't go near any of them.

And in terms of 275/255/245 widths, you can run a 275 tire on several different wheel widths. You need to decide what width wheel you want to run, then go with tire width. Just depends how full/stretched you want to be.

You can get tires for 19/20 just fine, there's no problem getting tires for 19's. But the big benefit of 20's is they look a lot better (IMO). The downside to 20's is that since the tires will be thinner (sidewall) than 19's, you will have more roadnoise. But a lot of that is also the brand of tire you use.

thanks for the responses guys

i do like the Gt-1 the best and i would kind of like to stay away from a 35 profile tire i'm never had rims before on any car number one and i do like to hit it every once in a while so i would feel safer with a tiny bit more meat on the tires, so i think that's why i would want to go with 19's like a 275/40/19 and lower the car on top of that. i know since i have awd i don't stagger anything so i would be running 275/40/19 all the way around is that smart?????

you can stagger an AWD as long as all 4 are the same diamter (IE same size tires on all 4) but you can run different widths on the front/back if you want

Don't forget this, the wider the tire you go the more meat you will have.

so even if i went with a 275/35/20 i will still have enough meat where i wouldn't have to be sooo cautious towards every little bump obv pot holes i would have to avoid and if i went with like a 255/40or45/20 in the front i would have plenty of tire to protect the rim is that what your both kind of saying

I'd like to give you MO, but I cant since I haven't seen them on a car. The guys already responded know better, but could I ask you what you're going to do with your stocks ?

Try searching for My G's cause I think he has the same wheels that you like, try to see them on before you buy them.
