theres tons of pictures in the thread that RA40 linked. the only downside is that, practically no one post up wheels specs. And the few that does, usually aren't the fitment anyone else is looking for.

You'll have to tell us how low and how aggressive you want the car to be? A mild 2" drop, wheels that are 8-8.5" wide, +30mm is conservative. Start getting to +25mm and 9" widths, fender mods come in. More aggressive, rolling-pulling-shaving etc for the desired fitment. Rear when running a staggered set-up, you can add ~.5" inch. Depending how low, and tire sidewall profile may require additional fender work. That's where the stretch and camber comes in.

Show us some wheels with specs or pic of a car that you want to set-up similar and we'll be able to tell you what tire and offsets work for that fitment.

This is a basic fitment, not sunk nor poking. Can adjust based on your wheel tire combo from this.

FYI: elvis and suicidn have all received body work in one form or another. if you are looking for a flush fitment w/o any body work (with exception of fender trimming) i suggest the following baseline:

19x9.5 +24 range front with 225/35
19x10.5 +24 range rear with 235/35

use this tool to help you with different range of sizes you will find but stick close (within 5-7mm or so) to what's above.

also keep in mind tire sizing between brands differs. one manufacturer's 225/35 fits slightly differently than another.

all of the following below have sizing in that range within 7mm, myself included:
