Default 19" wheel help

I am looking to get a set of wheels with custom offset. The wheels will be 19x8.5 front and 19 10 rear. I don't know what offset works best if I plan to drop on rs down springs. Can someone please recommend offset. Thanks

Nano, here is what i got from Need4Speed (one of the forum sponsors). They have been great to work with. Here are the specs they gave me for the 19's. I have been leaning on going to 20's though for 2 reasons. I have read multiple people confirm you wont get any rubbing if you go with 20's if you use the right size tire, and since 20" wheels are more common replacing the rubber would be the same as 19's or cheaper. Anyway, something to ponder.

The Best fitment would be the following
19x8.5 + 35
19x9.5 + 35
235/35/19
265/30/19

Thanks, I know vossen cv3s have the 19x8.5 et 32 and 19x10 et 40. I am not sure if all wheels are created equally to run same setup with different manufacturers. I would do 20s but I don't want to run such a thin tire, otherwise I would get a set of cv5s and call it a day.

Anyone think 245s up front would be an issue? I want to run a square setup.

I slapped on my cv3's and the specs are 19x8.5 fronts and 19x10 rears.
Im running 255/35/19 fronts and on the rears, and noticed that the rears are slightly poking out a bit. I have yet to drop the car, and was hoping that the drop would help camber the wheels in a small amount. Should i be looking into smaller tires to get a stretched look in order to make the 19s fit?

255's on 8.5" and 10"? And want some stretch in rears? I would re-evaluate your whole tire scheme. Figure out what drop, if any, you want to go with and get "matching" stretch tires in front and rear respectivly to you 8.5 and 10 wheels.

i just want a setup that would fit. It seems like i would have to find something around 225/35/19 for the front. However i'm just wondering if i could pull the 255/35/19s off in the rears or should i have to find something like 245/30/19s for the rears especially if i were to drop the car.
