Default Thinking about going to 19 from 18 little help?

really like these Gravis from 5zigen but not sure what offset to get (to be honest don't know anything about offset) options at 19 x 8.5 in the front with +25 +38 or +45. and the rear 19 x 9.5 +25 +38 or +45 wanting to go as wide as i can on the front and rear without having issues so i was guessing 245 35 up front and 275/35 or 285/35 rear. can anyone help me out with the offset and any pictures would be great and opinions welcome im curious to see what everyone thinks about these wheels

i really think i like the almost flat spoke in the front and the curved in the back, nice look to not be a big lip

found a couple but would love some more if anyone can find them couldn't find any on the search

19x9.5 front and rear +25 and run 275/30 front and 275 or 285/35 rear.

275 front seems like a bit much don't you think?

i wouldnt run anything bigger then a 255 up front unless i was strictly tracking the car. just not practical. 255 and 275 is perfect. in my opinion.

I would do 19X9.5 +25 all around with 275/30/19 on the front and rear. 275 is a perfect match for a 9.5 wheel width. I run a 275 up front with no issues. You may have to use a 10mm spacer on the back to get it flush.

8.5 in front and 9.5 in rear sounds familiar. I have seen it someplace before.

EDIT: That’s the same as the NISMO wheels. So offset and tire width are easy to figure out.

255/35 and 285/35 is what I would run. 8.5 and 9.5 just to save some money, plus im a fan of staggered. Assuming your going 19's.... Get the +25 offset, if you want more aggressive do a 5MM spacer.

The lower the offset, the farther the wheel sticks out. a wheel with a +45 offset would be sitting way inside your fenders and probably isn't the desired look. A wheel with +25 will be closer to sitting flush with your fenders, the more desirable look.
