Default I dont want to be a sunken battleship. Offset help

Im getting some new rims soon.
They are 19x8.5+15; 19x10+20

Running 235/35/19 F and 245/35/19 rear.

Also I will be pairing this up with the AC kit.

Does anyone have any pictures on how these rims will fit. I want the rims to sit FLUSH. How sunken in will these be?

I had the same offsets exact on my linea corse bbs lm reps.

rear will be decent, front will be sunken a bit. I solve the problem with spacers front and back.

I also have a ac style kit.

Depending on your definition of flush, those sizes will work pretty much how soulific said. Mildly flush, but the front will be sunken, the width is pretty narrow. If you are stuck on the wheels just measure from the lip to where you want them to sit in relation to the fender and buy a corresponding spacer. OR you could buy new barrels if they are at least a 2 piece wheel.

Those tires sizes are too close in size. The front tires will look bigger than the rear. 235 on an 8.5" rim and 245 on a 10" rim will look weird. Try 255 or 265 on the rear. Or try 225 front.

i have a 235/35/19 in the front on a 8.5+23 and a 265/30/19 on a 9.5+24 and they look good. the cars not lowered so they may be a lil sunk in when it is but not to bad
