Default Help Me Determine Offset!!

I'm looking at getting a set of 19x9.5 Axis Shines but im not sure what offset to get. I dont want anything too agressive but I want to be able to tuck. What do you guys reccomend?

I'm going with this wheel because i know i can et these for a really good price, but if you guys can reccomend any 5spoke wheel with decent lips, let me know.

heres a pic of the wheel:

thats a 1 pc wheel, therefore, you probably cant get custom offsets.
you dont want staggered?

Front will be ok, rear will need to be a lower offset. See if they have like a 25 in the rear.

If they are both 9.5, then put the +40 up front and +35 in the rear.

Rear is going to look sunken, I'd do at least a 25, maybe a +20 offset in a 9.5.

Your suggestions are fine as long as the OP realize that he will have to do some tweaking to make it fit.

Yeah, +20 even +25 will not fit in there without shaving the fender.

yes, it helps keep water from splashing on to the back of your headlights or fog lights and also some into your engine bay.

For the rear? I think you could put a +25 in the rear. I had a 19x9.5+20 in there, no rubbing.

In the front it stuck out quite a bit though.

If your willing to cut your fenders in front and back and modify your fender liners, I think you can get away with +20 all the way around with a stretched tire, without having to do any fender pulling. This is speaking from experience not conjecture.
