Default wheel offset for 9.5 wide rear

Hello

I am looking to get some wheels for my car and wondered if a 9.5 wide wheel with a 35mm offset will work or will it stick out some. Any insite on this setup. 19x9.5 rear and 19x8.5 front, both with 35mm offsets.

Thanks for any help guys and gals.

+35 would be perfect!

I have 8.5 front and 9.5 rears too. My rears are +44 and are a bit inside the wheel well. I always said if I had a 10mm spacer it would fit nice and flush.

+35 is weak in my opinion it would be a little sunk. I'm running 10.5 in the back in the lower 20's and have no rubbing issues.

I'm running a 9.5 rear +40 offset with a 30mm spacer so that'd be an *effective offset of +10 and I've got another 10mm to go I'd say. I guess it depends on your ride height and alignment specs. If my car were stock height I'd probablly be poking all over the place. What size tires you plan to run plays a part too. My 1/4s are shaved.

19's and headlamps lenses cleaned

35 offset 8.5 front 9.5 rear, but the fronts just barely come out past the fender, shouldn't be a problem when I lower it though

If you want to fit an appropriate tire size and are just looking for a nicer looking wheel, the offset and width should be perfect. I'd say 9.5 with a 0-15 offset will start to sit pretty flush and require a mild stretch.
