Hi guys, noob got question. Thinking replacing my wheels to 18" or 19", more towards 19". I want flush setup. No spacer. Not lowering it for now so stock height. Done some reading, is this a right setup?

19x9.5 +20 front, 19x9.5 +15 rear. 255/40 front, 275/40 rear.

How about +15 front? will it poke out? I don't want even a little poke if i can. Just nicely flushed.

You want tire sizes that are 255/35-19” front and 275/35-19” rear.

5mm isn’t much difference; +15mm or + 20mm will be about the same.
A 19x9.5” wheel with 15mm offset will be flush in the front. You can see examples of this in the Enkei wheel thread in this section.

That will be very close to flush. You could even go with a 10.5" 15mm offset wheel (which would protrude one half inch more).

Here is an example of a 9.5" 15mm offset wheel in the rear:

Woo nice. So it will be +15 all 4 then. Bit worried since i read in 18" wheels thread inm that +15 front will protrude nearly an inch... i got confused. Lets say if i want to go 18" to save a bit of moolah... 18x9.5 +15 will do for flush then? sorry if theres too much question.

If you look closely at my pictures, you notice that the front wheels are not visible. That is because my front wheels are 8.5” and 15mm offset, and they are tucked in about one half an inch. A 9.5” wheel with 15mm offset will sit out one half inch and be flush with the front fender.

The Enkei thread has lots of pictures of cars with 9.5" 15mm offset front wheels.

Default 255/35 19 & 285/35 19 nittos?

I've heard these tires run a bit wider than some. On impulse I just bought a set with these specs. They're going on a set of 19/9.5 +25s & 19/10.5 +22s.
got a few questions for everyone.
Do you think that setup is gonna Work ? Im still stock height. Roads are not the best here and I will tear up the front end if I lower here. Fenders aren't rolled yet but I got a buddy that'll roll them if needed.
Also, I used the tire calculator and I'm pretty sure these tires won't throw the vdc but I seen one guy say they will. 07' enthusiast.
Sorry for all the questions im just curious. Anyone running these same offset/specs ??

Your setup is excellent. You won't rub at stock height. In fact you can drop the car at least 0.6" without interference from fenders.

Post some pictures when you get the wheels and tires on your car.

I'll have to just bite the bullet and deal with the tpms being on. Keeping my stocks for spares and don't feel like opening them up for the sensor and stems

Had the perfect setup ordered with a the right offsets for 19x9.5 and 10.5 but they were out of 10.5 so I HAVE to put the 9.5 in the back now and get a 8.5 for the fronts

Question is, will these offsets work ?
I want them to look flush but with these new offsets I'm sure I'll need a spacer or something. Front is 19x8.5 +30 and rear is 19x9.5 +25


Had already bought the tires for the 9.5 and 10.5 from another store so I'm stuck putting on a 255/35/19 on a 8.5 and a 285/35/19 on the 9.5


What's your opinion ? Will they fit for now ? Spacers to make them flush ? And you think those tires will be functional on those wheels.

Everything is wrong here. I would not buy those wheels. The wheels do not have enough offset to get “flush” and the tires are too wide for the wheels.

Will be shipping the tires and wheels back tomorrow then. I appreciate the input man. I had the 9.5 10.5 wheels ordered then got a call saying they no longer produce 10.5 so 8.5 9.5 will fit so i ordered them. Will be calling bright and early tomorrow

First I would wait or just buy different wheels.m

If I was impatient or needed wheels for dome reason and just had to have this wheel. I would do 9.5 front and rear for now.

Default Need your expertise on wheel widths

I have SMB '06
Don't want hella flush look, more like road race look (almost oem look).

Will 19"x8.5" f and 19"x 9.5" r have a sunken in look or should I go wider with a 19" 9.5"/11"?

Also, does AG have a more aggressive concave than VMR or are they about the same? Thx in advance! Pics below:

Oyu don't mention whether you're at stock height, but you prob should be looking for offsets in the mid 20s.
