offset
i finally found some wheels i like but the add says they have a +35 offset. theyre 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 in the rear. does this offset mean theyre gonna stick out alot or will i need spacers? please assist

need spacers --
for those widths look for something in the low to mid teens for offsets

yeah those sizes i would go at least 20mm offset. I have 20mm in the rear and its pretty good i wouldnt go any higher though just not aggressive enough 15 to 20 is my prefference. Either get ready to buy some big spacers or save the 230 your gonna spend on spacers and buy some better wheels that will fit right.

No. But a lower offset will create a larger lip on a wheel or will make it more concave if it is lipless.

^^^ ++ A higher offset will alternatively reduce the lip size.

a crash course understanding in offsets...
offset=pushes the wheel outwards
width=wheel going inwards

even though they are deep dish wheels they will still be tucked in with that offset. and you will be losing lip size
