19s on a 5.5gen which offset and width?

I have coilovers.

What width and offset should I get? Keep in mind I dont want to roll back my fenders, and I dont want rubbing issues.

I ordered 20mm spacers for the rear but I wont install them if the rims will sit flush with the rear fender. Also I was thinking about getting 5mm or 10mm for the front if the rims dont sit flush with the front fender. Which should I get the 5mm or 10mm for the front if necessary?

Or should I get 9.5 in the rear and 8s in the front?
Which offset in the rear to keep flush?
Which offset in the front to keep flush?

Which ever width you pick what size tires do you recommend?


19x9.5 offset 35

19x9.5 offset 20

19x8 offset 40

19x8 offset 20

It's really up to you if you want staggered setup for the looks or all-around. I have 19x8.5 with +38 offset and 235/35/19 in the front and 19x9.5 with +38 offset and 255/35/19 in the rears. Whatever you do, just keep the offset close to 40. PM me with the exact offsets if you've found the wheels you want. BTW, I am dropped with Tein S. Tech and no rubbing.

I have 19x8.5" front & rear with 245/40's with coilovers, and the rears rub just a bit over big bumps. However, if I would have gone with 245/35 tire I wouldn't have any problems.

My front & rear offsets are 35mm, fronts lines up perfectly, but the rears could use a 10-15mm spacer. If you're going for looks, then I'd go with a 9.5" rear wheel with a 40mm offset, and a 8.5" front with 35-38mm offset.

i just ordered some new rims for the ride and got 19X8 5-114.3 30mm. i'm ordering them from discount tire direct. the 40mm's were out of stock so i grabbed the 30mm's. how much of a difference is there between the +40 and +30mm, is it really noticeable?
