    now i'm only saving up for N+ else K'sports shock, thus u think i won't have to be worry about wheel or i can study about them later on when i have enough money to buy a nice 19" set right?

    2 finger gaps all round? nice? mind sharing pic of urs, as i said , planning to dump the car 1.5 front n 2 rear, but wouldnt mind to go ur setting too if it doesnt incur much scrapping or harshness

    also curious if i lower the car like 2 all round as urs, will the strut bar help in steering performance much? or no such things needed? THANKZ
    Offset details

    The More offset +50 will sit inside the guards;
    The Lower offset +40 will sit flush with the guards/fender.

    Yes the wider the wheel the more limitations and possibilities you might need to roll the guards.

    Harshness i dependant on the size of the wheels you choose.
    The bigger the wheels the lower profile your tyres will need to be;
    Lower profile tyres will cause more harshness as there will be less flexibility in the tyres.

    19" should be fine just get the right offset with the right size tyres and you'll be fine.
    But for a safe size i say 19"x 8 or 8.5 running 225/35 tyres should be safe to clear and no scrub.

    If you go 2finger gap with 19" that will still look like a 4WD, i would suggest you get your suspension first then think about wheels and all.

    Strut bar helps in steering by stiffening up the tower sections of the chassis, it produces the feel that your car is like a race car.
    So it increases understeer.
    As you said if you lower the car and put strut tower bar on you will not notice much of a performance diff except that the steering would have tightened up.
