Default Wheel advice

I poseted this question before but got mixed responses. I am purchasing some wheels that are 19x9 annd I am deciding between a +37 and +20 offset. I will be running 235/35's. I would like to get the +20 but I don't want the wheel sticking out too far and I don't want to get smaller tires and stretch them. Am I safe getting the +20?

customize your oil pan. all it takes is a grinder, a welder, and some common knowledge.

Are you planning to run 19x9 on all four?

Is there a reason why you're not running a staggered setup? 19x9 37 will fit np for the front on 225/35 sitting almost flush.

Yes, I plan to run 19x9's all around and the offset for the front will be +37, it's the rears I'm not sure of.

I'm not running staggered because it turns out to be a lot more expensive if I get the wider wheel and bigger tires.

If you're really set on running 19x9 all around with 235/35 you'll need a high offset up front (like in the 40's) and a low offset in the rear. But I think it will a lot better if you go with a staggered setup, btw I just saw that you're in UT too, where are you at?

no real downside of not being staggered, but low offsets are gunna be harder to find.

cro126-those will be good, but get springs or coils, then you should know how big of spacers youll need
