i tried running my 20x8.5 +35's on a 15mm spacer (thus +20 overall), lowered on tein ss, and the tires would rub at full crank.

so my best guess from trial and error is that maybe +25 is probably the max you can go without hearing any rubbing on the fronts.

rears, ive tested, and read that on a 20x10 +15 is about as max as you can go. for myself, im running +18 right now with as close to oem alignment specs as possible. i only rub when i got a full car load of ppl.

i know you said you are on 19s, but you can work around those numbers to see what offset you can go with.

Tom. lol yeah. with the 17s my car shakes when going 70+. i thought it was a balance issue so i brought it in. while on the balancer, it became apparent that a wheel was slightly out of round. i've searched and searched and cant find anyone selling a replacement for a reasonable price.

thanks for the pic. thats the fitment im going for. do you have ay fender mods? philly's got one helluva ride, but thats not in my budget for 09 lol.

SorrGwa. thanks for the response. i've got an idea of what specs i need. its something along the lines of Tom's setup. might need spacers though because the ones i find are F 32mm and R 35mm.
