Designo - Your stance looks great, but I was hoping for an aggressive stance without the need for spacers/fender mods.

lkapimp216 - This is what they offer:
19x8.5 5x112 45

19x8.5 5x4.5 45

19x8.5 5x4.5 30

19x9.5 5x120 45

19x9.5 5x112 45

19x9.5 5x4.5 45

19x9.5 5x4.5 35

19x9.5 5x4.5 25

19x10.5 5x4.5 33

19x10.5 5x4.5 22
What do you recommend?

im running 19x8.5 +32 10mm spacer with a 225/35/19 and a 19x10 +32 245/35/19 the back is perfect no spacer the front you could do a 19x9 +32. i did finder roll no pull though

You need a 5x114.3 your options are better in the 20 than the 19 there are no 19x10
the 20x8.5+20 and 20x10+35 would be ideal but I don t see it in the right bolt pattern thus leaving you with a 20x10+43, you could use the 20x10+25 but you would need to run a 245/30 or 235/30 on the rear and may need to slightly shave the rear fenders but would look great. with the +35 or +43 you would be able to run a 285/25-20 on the rear and a 245/30-20 front and to be honest 20s are the ideal size for this car. With these rims and tire sizes your speedo and car will be within factory spec. I highly recomend Vredestine tires they are durable,quiet, and stick to the road. they also have a more curved sidewall giving you more clearance in the fender well. I have very hands on input when giving advice on this car and fitment I have had 3 set of wheels and another on the way not including factory set up. I have ran spacers from 5mm to 20mm and even had one customized and milled down 2.5 mm to create the 12.5mm spacer on the rear of my car now that allows me to achieve the most aggressive stance with a shaved fender and no aftermarket camber arms, and no fender pull.

The front would be aggressive and the rear would be weak a whole inch more sunken in then my fitment on the rear. A 9.5 +25 on the front is 7mm more conservative than my front

I was wrong about the rears, they will only be 1/2 inch more sunken in in the rear and 1/4 in the front it should look good with the drop your going with! You could always add spacers to fine tweak it I ve had 4 sets and never a vibration.

i think you really need to use a offset calculator

this will show you what you need to know. plug in your stock wheel and tire set up and then for the second one, what you would like. it will show you the difference between the 2.
