Help with new wheels

Hey Guys,

It's finally time for me to get wheels . I've decided on Work Emotion Cr Ultimates (aka Work Kiwami), in the sizes 19x9.5 +25 and 19x10.5 +32. My question is (for all you fitment gurus out there), will those offsets clear akebonos (I have a coupe sport)? I am planning on getting 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 section tires. I am also lowered on bags so ride considerably lower than stock and don't want rubbing to be an issue. Do these dimensions (mostly offset and tire widths) seem realistic and will easily fit my car? Any input is greatly appreciated!!

No problem clearing the BBK w/ those offsets. You can run a bit more tire too, I'd run 255/40 and 285/35, that will be a nice fit. Should be a great looking set for your coupe, one of my fav wheels for sure!

I told you Brad is the best with wheel fitment issues and that he'd be the first to comment! Lol

Like I told you in text for offsets I think perfect flush fitment would be...

19x9.5 +25
19x10.5 +32

It's what I say for the perfect flush on a coupe imo.

I have 20x9 +32 and 20x10.5 +45 ... sedan offsets unfortunately and added 15mm spacers all around so now I'm at +17 in the front and +30 in the rear and it sits absolutely perfect!

Halfway there! I can already imagine how beefy these 285's will look from behind the car

Too stretched in my opinion. While steering response will be IMMEDIATE, I'd want more rubber for ultimate grip.

what i dont really understand is everyone suggests 275/35 for rears esp with wheels that are 10.5" wide. there will be a stretch there. why would u not want a stretch in the front to match?
