Default 19s - What wheels, tires, offset specs do you recommend?

After a few months of thinking and waiting, i decided to go with 19s. I do not want to roll my front and rear fenders and i will use my stock springs. What wheels, tires, offset specs do you recommend? I hope to get some feedbacks from 19 users. Also i hope your recommendation do not rub if you have full passengers seated inside the car. thank you!!!

If you go with 9.5/10.5, you should look at no lower than +35 front and +40 rear offset, 225/265 tire to avoid rubbing. If you run less width, you can go with +35 offsets. First off, decide on the wheels you want (maker, specs, etc), then we can help you more accurately with the offset.

I can't afford $3-4000 rims, but suggestions for Forgestar F14 19's?

I heard bad things about forgestar such as cracking, etc. I was considering them too because they came in 12" wide rims for cheap! But was strongly advised against them. Look into Avant garde if you're on a budget, that's what I'm running, particularly the M series (m510, 550 and 590). Those cost around 1500-2000 tops for a set and come in really good sizes and finishes. Hit up NFS motorsport and they'll hook you up.

It really depends on what you like there are many applications in 19 inch that look great on the car.

We carry a huge lineup of wheels and I can tell you firsthand some personal choice for you that range in pricing as well.

Vossen wheels ( CV3 or CVT)
Forgestar
Niche
MRR Ground Force

It really depends on what fitment you are after and if you are lowered or not with that you can then pin down a wheel your after.

I"m looking at 19x9 with a 32mm offset and 245/35/19. I'm assuming that would be no issue all around.

The rear would be 19mm further out and the from would be 31mm further out.

Look thru the build threads. I posted all the specs on my setup. NFS hooked it up for me with an amazing deal!
