i was thinking 19x8.5 +20 offset

should i go +22 or +25?

8.5 with a +20 on the front is what I have. Will fit fine, no problem. I have the 8.5 +20 fronts and 9.5 +25 rears. If I could do it again I would run the 9.5 +25 up front and the 10.5 +35 in the rear, a more aggresive look. Here is mine.

wow

thats real nice

but why would you want to go with a +25 offset in the front if you want a more aggressive look?

isnt +20 more aggressive because it sticks out 5mm more?

thanks

I am not sure if the 9.5 is available in a +20. Also since the 9.5 is an inch wider, the 5mm difference in offset between the +20 & +25 is hardly a factor.

Be sure to check them often for CRACKS!! I went through 2 sets before going with Forged Rims and Mark at Axis is a total @$$ to deal with if you have any problems..

yeah they did have a batch of about 100 wheels that are known for the cracks about 2 yrs ago. I check mine every other day. I've read that the president of Axis, James Chen, will replace the wheel if it is cracked. His name on here is "james axis"

Saw this on one thread:
we have experince a bad batch of 19x8.5 Hiros where some of the wheels may crack on one of the spokes. there are about 100 pieces in the batch and we belive we have purged most of the wheels. Please do not be alarmed, the cracking on the spoke is due to a bad batch of alumiunum ingot. There are no further issues with any current batch of Axis wheels. Keep in mind although the wheels are being replaced free of charge. Many of you out there blow things out of proportion. if one of the spoke is cracked, there is still 4 spokes holding the wheels together. If one lug nut is missing , there are still 4 more there to hold the wheel on the assembly. although it is best to have 5 lugs nuts on the wheel, i am sure some of you heard stories where people have ran with only 4 lug nuts, holding there wheel together. We are fixing the problem by replacing the wheels, and are doing more than alot of people would in this situation. It is very easy to blam when you are on the other side. any how for those we writes in and support us we thank you. keep in mind we have sold over half a million wheels since we have been in business, and to have 100 piece that could have some problems is not a bad track record. one cracked spoke is not good, but please keep in mind no one has crashed as a result of it. It is the exageration caused by others that can hurt a company. Thanks for you time.

Here is a thread about the wheels cracking, James has a couple of replies in there.

Maybe send him a PM with any questions regarding the wheels cracking. So far I have been happy with mine, no cracks.
