Offsets aren't bad, although I'd get some wider wheels.

You might look at the Enkei PF01's...

with those wheels dimensions I'd go lower offset. But that's me.

the sizes are more than fine, and look great on the car



(the above was 8.5 +20 (discontinued), 9.5 +20 (which I eventually switched to +12, but no pics sorry) wearing 245/40, 275/40 S03's (note, if you get a similarly chunky tire, such as a PS2, RE050, RE11, R888 etc, it will look similar. A tire than runs smaller (Toyo T1R, etc) will not look nearly as good)

9.5 front, 10.5 rear = no Advan

SSR, Work Meister, Volks, etc = all significantly more expensive than your proposed setup, so really your call.

8.5 +20 is not listed on Work's website and yes, has been discontinued for a long time. They sometimes come up used though. The lowest offset for an 8.5 is +25 which has the same amount of concavity, and still looks great on the car (I used to have those too). Plus, no need to worry about all the extra wear and tear on the rest of the suspension components as the wider, lower offset wheels promote (they look good, I know..we all run them here on our cars, but they are not the be all and end all). Or, if you want em more flush, spacers make it quick and easy

First of all thank you all for the input, ideally I would like the cr kai in 19x10.5 +10ish and 19x9.5 +20, does anyone know of a wheel that can meet these specifications and still maintain a similar look

You could always go with a square setup, 9.5 et.12 all around.
