Default will this offset fit in the rear?

i was checkin out ebay and i saw some 19" racing harts. the rear were 19x10 +44. front 19x8.5 +38. i think the front will work, but i was wondering about the rear. also what size tires do you suggest

Rear is fine, mine is +42 and i believe rominl's might be +41. You should definitely be okay.

Your offsets should be fine both front and rear, I tuck mine and I have 19x10 37offset and 19x9 37offset.

I keep hearing about 0 gap. Can someone please explain what that means and how the measurements are taken to come up with this "0" number?

the "gap" means the measurement between the top of tire to the fender straight up then 0 gap means you cant even stick your finger between the two.

0 Gap is just slang for no gap between the top of the wheel and the fender. In otherwords, you will not be able to stick a finger between the wheel and the fender. The majority of people use this slang: 0 gap, 1 finger gap, 2 finger gap and so on to desribe how low they are.

Ok, that made me feel

Not to go off topic, but what if you are 6'8" and 290lbs with large thick fingers and I'm 5'4" and 120lbs with thinner fingers?

So, is that a 1 gap or 2 gap?

To put it bluntly, 0 gap means it's tighter than a virgin's.... *cough*.....

I think you catch my drift....


By the way, that offset will definitely work on your car. I got +36 in front and +24 in the back.

my rule of thumb, 1 finger is about 1/2"

and yes, the offset is perfect
