Oem tt rims are 8" in the front, and 9.5" wide in the rear. One bad choice I've seen for upgrading rims, way too often, is to go up to 9" wide rims in the front (a full inch wider) and then go to 10" wide rims in the rear (only 1/2" wider than stock). When you consider this is a rear wheel drive vehicle, and additional traction requirements in the rear from bpu upgrades, this disproportional rim width change is rather rediculous, imho...

2) If you run 19s on the rear, you will have to run a very narrow sidewall (aka 'low profile'). With a low profile tire, you'll get lousy traction. You'll find that a 17x11.5 or 18x11.5 in the rear will allow you to run a 35 series sidewall, which will provide much better traction.
