While were on the topic of rim offset and all that good stuff. I thought Id run it by everyone to see what everyone thinks.

I want to run 19x8.5 in the front +35 offset 245/40/19, and then in the back I want to run 19x9.5 +45 offset 275/35/19.
I know the 245s will be ok in the front seeing as Bryan is running wider and stock with no problem. Im hoping with the +45 offset in the back nothing will rub..what do yall say?

Please get a lower offset as that is pretty high!! That's almost at stock offsets. lol

Cause you are a tuner with a turbo and that's it.

Thats what Ive been wandering, is it possible? I have RSR springs which give it about a 1.4" drop all the way around. I know the front will be fine, but the only other offset offered with the rims for the rear is a +20, thats what Im afraid of. +20 might rub and I dont want to pull/roll/stretch or do anything to my fenders.
