If you are a noob with wheels and tires, like me, I would rely on the experts at **********s to help you with size, offsets ant tires. They do it every day. They will know what the right offset and stagger should be for your application. I did notice that the Movens don't come in a 30 ET. I actually like the Movens a little better since I like the look of the polished lip. I currently am torn between the Movens, CLS reps, M6 reps and the new Velocity Motoring V715 wheel

Also Keep in mind that different brand tyres have different sidewall characteristics. Some Sidewalls are Squared and some are more Rounded. I have DPE's with 19x10 rear but I'm running Kumho 255/30's in the rear because kumhos have a very thick and squared sidewall. Some brands like Toyo have a more rounded sidewall therefore you can go with a wider tyre. And yes 265 do fit a 9.5 rear wheel.

**********s is an excellent vendor. I bought 19" staggered ///M6 reps from them and they're great but my DPE's are much lighter.
