Are the 19x9.5 concave looking like the 19x10.5's? Or are they more flat spoked like the 19x8.5s. I would like to do 9.5s and 10.5s for handling, but I definitely don't want my fronts sticking out...nor do I was the front spokes curved in like the rear spokes. I would definitely like to know which is the better offset for the 19.5s in the front...but if there are only two offsets, that should be easy to figure out.
I vote for more pictures of UCMyZ's car....I want more pictures!!!

The 9.5's I've seen are more concave. That's exactly why I'm trying to get 8.5's for the front and 9.5's for the rear (instead of 9.5/10.5).
Offsets are 8.5 : +15
9.5 : +22

Well like this picture shows from the Axis Website, the wheel on the right has flat spokes so it must definitely be an 8.5" rim? But the wheel on the left has spokes that are curved in (concave) and giving the wheel a deeper look. The wheel on the left is at max a 10.5" rim.
I would just like to know if the 19x9.5" Hiros have the flat spokes like the wheel on the right or the curved spokes like the wheel on the right? Thanks.
And those additional pictures would be HIGHLY appreciated. I'm loving the look so far.

ok. Both of mine look like the pic on the left. I have the 9.5" front, and 10.5" rear.
My rims/tires do not stick out further than the wheel well (if you wanted to know this). The 9.5" fronts are pretty much flush w/ the top portion of the wheel well, but if you look at the bottom part of the rim/tire when looking at the front of my car, you can see the tires/rims on the side, but I think this is because the fender is not verticle, but moves in some towards the bottom. Hard to explain, but again I'll try to take some pics in a few days.

I think UCmyz answered your question. I'm looking for the 'flat' look on the front wheels, hence I'm still waiting for someone to get a shipment of 8.5/9.5 wheels in.

Yep, he definitely answered my question. I'm just wondering if the 8.5 front an 10.5 rear would look weird...or even better? I'm also worried that the backend might get happy with that setup. On the Volks the 8.5 F/10.5 R looks awesome....just not sure with these yet. I can't wait to see more pictures of UCMyZ's car!

Hope you like the pics! I had a little extra time on my hands, so I included a few photoshop pics. Next up, is to have my Z dispayed by a beach (photoshopped), since I have no beach here.
