Default what offset?

I am thinking of this tire combination: 255/35/19F and 285/35/19R.
for an 03 touring.

What offset would you think would look the best without tire rubbing or fender rolling. Or would this combo even work. I am looking at 19 in axis hiro's. But can't get a straight answer on the combo to go with. Tire sizes and offsets. Give suggestions please, I don't what to have some messed up looking rims and tires.

Shouldn't you choose your wheels first and then tires? Don't let the tires restrict your choices...

As for offsets, can you even get custom offsets with the cheaper wheels that aren't custom built per order? Usually with those you just take what you can get

Also, there are other factors that affect your offset sizing. Are you OK with negative camber? What kind of suspension do you have or will you have? You have already stated that you don't want to modify the fenders so that means you can't run anything too agressive.

So I would say something in the range of 8.5 front and 9.5 rear?

Hard to get a straight answer because it really does depend on if you're going to lower the car and your alignment specs.

I would say your safest bet for no rolling is 10.5" width rear +30 offset
front 9.5" width +26 to +28 is fine

But don't be scared of fender rolling... it's not that scary
