You should be able to fit everything except possibly the 10.5 +30 depending on your suspension without having to roll. Camber would be your friend in this instance...

Unless your a fan of stretched look, I'd go with the 10.5 +10. You can add spacers if you want a more aggressive look.

thanks! yea i'd rather have the option to throw on spacers than to buy them and have them be pushed out too far already, i wanted the biggest lip i could get and thats the 10.5.

lol wut

+30 on a 10.5 wheel will allow her to run a nice meaty tire if she doesn't want stretch. a 295/30 will fit perfect and a 305 will w/ just a little bit of negative camber dialed in.

+10 10.5 is pretty damn aggressive and will stick out if you're not lowered....take this from experience. The more aggressive the offset, the stupider it will look on stock suspension. And then once you start lowering...the more aggressive the offset, the more camber you'll have to run along w/ skinnier tires and that stretched look. 19X8 w/ a +25 in the front will be pretty tucked in.

Unless you plan on lowering the car I'd stick w/ the 19X10.5 in the rear w/ the +30 and you can always space it out later. Or you can just throw a wide tire on there and your rears will be sitting flush as is.


ETA: You say you want the biggest lip you can get....well a +10 will give you a substantially larger lip that a +30....


ETA2: Holy **** I just looked these wheels up....if 1010tires is correct in their weights....these things weight 38 lbs!?!?!?!?!! Sell the wheels and buy some Enkei, AME, Volks, Works, 5Zigen, etc. And I thought mid to upper 20's was heavy in weight....wow

Question

Confused. You intend to keep the 18x8 wheels in front, and find the same brand wheel different size for the rear?

19" x 10.5" 30mm offset is perfect. Good tire size, no rolling, nice lip - now go.

if your on stock suspension you won't have to roll your fenders anyway. but if you do plan on dropping it I would suggest a +25 to +30. If you do go with the plus 30 get the widest tire possible so it doesn't look sunk.

Huh? You didn’t receive the memo?

She is still running the 18 x 8” wheels. Why do you ask?

19x10.5 +30 is quite perfect, actually.

If these choices are all you have.

19" x 10.5" 10mm offset

with -2.5 camber (rolled fenders if you have a drop)




19" x 10.5 30mm offset

with stock specs and no drop( wont need to roll fenders)
