Hey Guys,

Not sure how many ppl out there have these wheels... Just wondering what the best offsets would be. Looking to go wide and pretty flush.

19 x 9.5 f
19 x 10.5 r

I thought +17 and +18 would be fine but I'm hearing different things...

Thanks all!!!

you will need camber kits for those offsets and run negative camber.

I think I already posted in your WTB thread...

VOLK:

9.5 +35 = Flush
10.5 +37 = Flush

Anything more than that will probably cause you to have to start running extra negative camber. If you held a level from the edge of my fender to the lip of my wheels it would be straight. My wheels are 20" but it shouldn't make a difference on the offset and wheels width.

Here are some pictures of my car that might show you what it will look like:

Don't get me wrong xlack.. It would look sick but you gotta slam the car too. OP what are your future plans?

Hmm... but he would have to run -2 front and -2.5 rear camber to fit...

yeah, i heard that +35 and +37 is a perfect fit...

Thoughts and Opinions:

Slam the **** out of it, run negative camber, and get the more aggresive wheels!!!!

But if you don't wanna do that, just get the offsets that I recommended...

I'd rather have wider. 8.5 and 9.5 is kinda weak but that's just my opinion. If you want them, then awesome. They're that size cause they were on a Lexus.
