Talking What Is The Best Offset For 2GS w/ 19x9 or 8.5f & 19x10r?

:Looking to buy a new set of Volk Racing RE30's in black for my 2nd gen gs400 that is black in 19x9 or 8.5fronts and 19x10 rears. I am looking for an aggressive stance w/out any rubbing and do not want to stretch the tire. The car has stock brakes and is lowered all the way on Tein CS's. I have 20inch HRE 540's with really thin tires right now but my girl friend will be driving this car in the LA area soon and I dont want her to bend these wheels. So thats why I want to go with a one piece mono block type wheel for strngth. What offset should I go with?

depends on what tires you have for the 20s now, the 19s might end up having the similar profiles on tires

personally i go 9 and 10

I would like it to have a thicker tire than my 225/35/20 on my 20's in the front.

click on wheel/tire fitment guide about half way down.
if you're so concerned, i'd suggest getting 18's then. if you stuck with 19s, then maybe a 'fat' setup would do you best? i'm no tire/wheel genius so...GL

i have 19's with 35 on F and 30 on R, she's just gotta be really careful driving, LOL
