4th Gen 19x9.5 Offset and Tire size

Looking at a set of rims and I want them to be as flush as possible. The 9.5 comes in two offsets, 35 an 40 which would be best for the front wheels? And what tire size should I be looking for with this size?

Thanks!

I think our stock wheels are 16x6.5 with 45 offset I think...so if you 2.5" wider with the CURRENT offset you'll be sitting pretty damn flush...

do you want poke at all? If not, I'd probably go with the 40 offset and (if needed) add 5mm spacer. BUt I don't kno, someone else should check my math and confirm.

You think there would be any fitment issues? Also recommendations on tire sizes?

It'll probably poke some not that I think of it but it sounds like that's the look you want.

Going for stretched tires? Maybe 225/35's?

9.5 + 35 is a good fitment if you have no camber. As far as tire size, I would go 235/35/19 or 225/40/19

Thanks Guys! Do you think I could fit a 245 or 255 without much issues? Or perhaps run a 40 offset in the front to help accommodate a wider tire? I love the look of stretched tires but this car is turboed and it would be nice to have some extra contact path if not it will be fine but if it's a option I would rather go that route.

How low is the car sitting? Because you're probably going to rub with beefy tires.

I had 18x9.5 et35 on my old 4th gen. The back was pretty much dead nuts flush but the fronts poked out a little more than I would have liked

245/255 is cake man. Heck, my 225 Federals went on without a hassle. If you like to stretch tires, make sure you can lower it quite a bit. If not, it's going to look odd. If you are turbo. I would do 255/35 TBH.

Do you have pictures? What tire size did you run? Would a 40 offset of been a better choice? Thanks!

This.
Good to know, I have a spare set of used 255/35/19 I can toss on for fitment I suppose and then just go from there. I just didn't want to mount them and then pay to have the un mounted Cause they didn't work. Lol

The car will be dropped as much as possible to accommodate whatever the widest tire size I can fit. So if it is not slammed that is ok with me.

Thinking about pulling the trigger, any other members with this setup care to chime in?
