Default Recommended Offset for 19" Enkei GTC01

hi guys, i'm about to get the ENKEI GTC01 19" rims.

what are the recommended offset for those rims?
i'm getting F19x8.5 R19x9.5 so 245/40 and 275/35.
what do you guys recommend on them? what i am getting is +22 front and back.

do any of you guys know how MCR use on their car?
thanks in advance.

I just got those same rims, 18x9+18 and 18x10+22 and it is pretty flush. I'm sure +22 would be fine for the front as well.

Papa bear says +22 is too aggressive.
Momma bear says +22 is too wimpy.
Baby bear says +22 is just right.

The 8.5/9.5 +22 combo is pretty flush. You can run 255/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. The 245/40/19 front you proposed would be 1/8" taller than the rear. Not sure if you'll like that or not.

Here are the same dimensions/offset (19x8.5+22 front/19x9.5+22 rear) with 255/275.

No it isn't! Even with 9.5/10.5 stagger it's not even that flush.

Well, it's obviously an opinion. I'll let the pic speak for itself without fender modification and no rubbing twith the tires sizes I've stated.

Remember, even though the offsets are +22 you have to account for the rim widths also which are only 8.5 and 9.5. If they were 9.5 and 10.5 that would look more flush.

You can run 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 easy w/o fender modifications with either sizes.

Nothing to do with opinion. It's literally just arithmetic.

Wider widths AND lower offsets than what you listed earlier. Tell us what your options are, as far as what's available. We're not going to do all the work for you.

I have GTC01 in those exact specs. I am satisfied with them, they are strong rims, and decently lightweight. They aren't "flush," but do look good. To anyone other than those obsessed with the top of the tire aligning perfectly with the fender, they are a good fit.

You should get a square setup though. Go 19x10 all around or 19x10.5, that way you can rotate your wheels and tires, along with havin fat tires in the front as well as the back to fight understeer.

I regret not going bigger in the front now somewhat, on an 8.5" wide wheel you're not supposed to do 275mm tires.

Well,I call flush far enough out where the lowered car can run an appropriately-sized tire without it rubbing under any condition and without modifications to the body in any way. The picture I posted shows the suspension fully compressed, and another 10mm of tire or 5mm offset in the front and it would rub. I put a 10mm spacer on the rear for kicks, and it rubbed. That's why I called it "pretty flush." Camber certainly plays a role here, so I suppose there is that arithmetic to consider.

dont know if this will help but these are axis wheels with +15 front and +20 rear. so about 2 mm further out then yours. Should give you an idea.
Post some pics when you get them mounted up. Anybody know the weight on these? i really like the look.

What are your widths, though? Also, looks like you're running 0 camber.
