Default 19x8.5 / 19x9.5 w/ a +20 offset will it work?

Sorry for the typical newb question but I've been searching for a while without any luck. I'm going to be running 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 wheels on my car with a Eibach drop and want to know if a +20 offset is too agressive for daily driving. I don't want any rubbing what so ever and I'm afraid that those offsets will just be to close to the fender. Could someone confirm this? Thanks!

You should be fine. My old TE-37's were 8.5 and 9.5 with a +22 offset and they were pretty flush with the fender. Your rims will only be 2 mm out farther. They won't stick out of the fender like the 10.5 +22 do.

Was your car lowered about an inch? I just hate the hastle of rolling the fenders and I'd rather just order another set of wheels.

the setup your asking about is actually perfect for a z. it is exactly what i would recommend offsetwise to anyone buying those size rims. i have 19x8.5 & 19x9.5 with 15mm front & 20mm rear as well as being lowered with eibach prokit springs with no problems. if you want to run really wide rubber you may run into problems but if you use the common 245/35 & 275/35 series you'll have no issues what so ever.

I also concur that with those widths a +20 offset will be fine.
