Thanks foo77!!
Ended up going with:
Rims size - 19x8.5 +35 (F) 19x9.5 +43 (R)
Tire size - 245x35 (F) 275x30 (R) (Toyo T1-R's)
Interestingly the dish on the 9.5's are identical to the 8.5 (to the naked eye anyway) but I can live with it
cant wait to see the 275's fitted ![Lol](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/lol.gif)
btw...what sort of tire pressure do you run ddubb? anything special for this size?

Hi guys,
It has been three weeks but finally I managed to get all the pieces together and got the wheels fitted yesterday![Cool](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/cool.gif)
For those interested I went with the EBC red stuff pads...so far I am very impressed!! I also raised the height a 1/2 inch all around but I think it drives a lot better now...it is definitely more forgiving on our Sydney roads
in regards to the drive now with the staggered setup to be honest I quite like it...but I'll will give it a few weeks to make my final decision.
Anyway hope you like the pics...it was getting dark so I did what I could...I will definitely have the camera out in the coming weeks so look out!![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Thanks again for all your help! I am real happy with the buy!
Cheers,
Maz

Easy answer would be too much
but no...
I ended up getting a pretty good deal from an importer here in Oz but got quoted between 3600-4k (AUD) mark from a few places when I was looking...
Once you get the rims of course there is the small matter of tyres which do not come cheap either
