i'm on 19's with joms, 5mm spacers front et 35 8.5j with 215/35 rubber. Its close.
Regarding failure rate, DPM, Awesome and Venom all said FK failed more than JOM. Jom had a 2 year warranty though dpm whereas Fk was only 1. FK is a better ride than jom but warranty and reliability so trusted the dealers.

i got 19" audi rims on mine, with 225 35 rubbers on em but where or how do i found out what "et 35 8.5j" they are?

Should be stamped inside the alloy somewhere at the back of a spoke.

That'll catch, prob wont even turn, you'll want 10mm hubcentric spacers and longer bolts ideally
