19s Tein S. Tech and 42 offset...will this work?

I'm just about to buy a set of 19's for my Max and I'm a little worried about the offset. They are 19x7.5 with a +42 offset. I'm going to run 235/3519 tires and drop it on Tein springs. Will this be safe from rubbing and camber issues? Or is that too high of an offset? What offset are you guys running that have 19s? Thanks!!

Don't get those wheels. They will look like hell. Wayyyy too skinny and wayyyyyy too high (sucked in) of an offset for 19"s. Those are bicycle tires.

Ok so that offset will cause an issue with rubbing? I can always try to fit a 245 tire on a 7.5 rim but thats kinda pushing it. Maybe I should just get 18s...it seems like that would be easier.

No, it wont cause rubbing. He used to have 7.5" wide rims and had to resort to getting wheel spacers. They sat too far in, now he has 8.5" wide and it sits perfect. Im gettin 19"x8.5" on 245/35/19 tires with a 35mm offset. The best offset is from 40-35mm. The lower the mm as im sure you know the futher out it sits. 35mm will make the rim sit basically in flush with the fender and looks pretty sweet. 40mm is just a tad bit further in but no big deal. Whichever you choose will work fine, but get atleast 8" wide just my .02
