Smile another wheel size help thread

Wanted to get some opinions on the following sizes. i have already searched on this topic but wanted to get some opinions.

these are the sizes i am considering getting,

conservative,
19x8 +30 front
19x9 +25 rear

agressive
19x9 +40 front
19x10 +45 rear

which is the better option? i am on stock lexus sport package suspension. may lower with conservative htech or stech tein springs if wheel gap is too much. dont want rolling or rubbing issues.

this is the wheel i will be getting, Volk RE30 in matte black.



Thanks.

Also i need tire size recommendations with these size wheels. Thanks.

i would go with the 19x9 and 19x10 but with a lower offset.

maybe +35 front and +38 rear. that would be pretty flush.

my work vs-xx are 19x9 and 19x10 with +21 and +23. of course tires will be stretched, camber and fender roll.

its up to you. i personally like the really aggressive stance. my car will be slammed on tein SS

i forgot to add, if you do lower your car, tire size is important too.

IF you dont want any rubbing issues, and are worried about that type of stuff.

Thanks for the input. The only problem is, that wheel comes in very limited offsets at 19"

19x9 +25 or +40

19x10 +15 +30 +45

which would be the best option?

19x9 +40 with a spacer or 19x9 +25 with a stretched tire and fender roll

19x10 +30 be nice and flush but a little stretch tire and fender roll
