i can care less, i have -8, -6 offsets so there. most people who like it rarely go throgh with it, its a big deal to have super wide and crazy offsets, you have to change your driving stlye and deal with uber tire wear....

The "fitment" thing has been around for awhile, especially for more compact German (VW) and Japanese cars with smaller sized wheels.
As far the 19" inch and beyond, wide wheels and pushed to the edge community, they still make up a very small percentage given the size and availability of tires in the past few years. (especially in the European, VIP or exotic car scene).
It's certainly not a "new trend", but for cars equipped with bigger wheels, it is sorta "new and special".

hey, is it okay to run 235/35/19 on a 9.5" for the rear.......?
I want a nice rear stretch but 9.5" wide makes it a little rough to play with.
Will I still get traction? lol. I dont race, I just want to cruise low and slow..

Depending on quality of tire, you'll have as much, if not more, traction than a lowered Stock Z on the old Shietenza Reo40 tires.

I want to be out of manufacturer recommended range, but not too deep into o'**** range like a 195 on a 12" wheel haha.
Time to find something else I like and do more research on tire sizes..

damn, some of you guys are nuts.
anyhow, will 245/40/18 on 10" wheels be safe enough to be daily driven on? i've seen a this particular set up before, and it didnt look "that" stretched..
thanks..
