i don't know about you guys but when i hear this.

"lowest offset, without rubbing or rolling, with lowest possible ride height"

to me that equals the lame, sunken battle ship look.

I am planning on getting some new rims. The specs are:

19 X 8.5 all round +35mm offset. What size tires are recommended front and back.

I have a RWD(need staggered tires) and is lowered on H&R springs. I would like to have no rubbing or fender mods.

Thanks in advance

235/35/19 rear
215/35/19 front
but only if you really want staggered tires. i would just do 225/35 all around if i was going non-staggered wheels

Thanks for the response!

I thought that there was a requirement for the wheels to be height staggered for the ABS to work properly.

I am currently having
235/40/R18 - 18 X 8 +30 - F
255/40/R18 - 18 X 8 +30 - R
No rubbing at all

and was planning on using

225/35/R19 - 19 X 8.5 +35 - F
245/35/R19 - 19 X 8.5 +35 - R

What do you think?

MV, you think I should go with a 225/30/20 on a vossen 20x9 rim? You don't think 235/30/20 would be a little better or you think I might rub? Suspension is most likely going to be H&R springs for now but doing coilovers in the future.

I decided on 285/25/20 for the rears, because the OD is lower then stock and will decrease my chances of rubbing.

thanks mate,

as for looks though how would you rate it? agressive normal weak?

ive got a r33 as well which runs big wheels and sits nice and flush so i like to agressive stance so ill be aiming for that just not sure if +37 and +34 are too high offset..

but i hear they have small guards so low offsets are no good without major work which i dont want to do as i dont trust people to do a decent job on the guards haha

just afraid of the rubbing with a 235 in the front with a 20
