Default wheel spec opinion?

I have been searching for some pics to see how this setup will work. I plan on purchasing some wheels that are 19x9.5+25 and 19x11+25. Now I know that spec in the rear is going to be a pain to fit, so I was thinking of getting a 9.5+12 in the rear to make it a bit more manageable. My question is will this look odd? If anyone can help out and give their opinion. Does anyone have a pic of a setup similar to this or at least the rear wheel spec? Thanks in advance

it wont look odd, that setup is pretty common really, as far as 9.5/11

just make sure your tire spec is just right so you have the clearance, and get your fenders pulled/rolled and you will be fine. youll need rear camber arms for that rear spec though, im 100% positive. Because im an 11 rear and had to run about -4.5 degrees of camber

My rears (and fronts) are more aggressive than that. Can't really say what they are but you'll need camber arms for the rear and a roll/pull at least. Depends on a lot

to the OP like stated above youll need arms and a pull at extreme minimum. but this is an 19x11 rear, and -4.5 degrees camber... so good examples of that setup on air like heyarms, and mine static


and just have a standard roll in the rear, nothing crazy at all

front fenders will need to be rolled as well and the bumper tabs will need to be relocated if you want to go low. Camber kit is a must in the rear but not the front.



here's my car, rear is 19x10.5+18 with -4.5 degrees of camber aired out.
