would a front 19x9.5 +35 and rear 19x10.5 +25 work?

The fronts would be ideal and the rears would slightly poke.

Advan GT sizes?

yes looking to buy a set of Advan GTs but want to stay as close to the stock ratio as possible. do you think a +35 offset all around would work better?

This is the problem i ran into shopping Advans before i went to 20". Either mild or aggressive.

But if you are wanting to stay closer to stock could you run 19x9 +35 and 19x10 +35 with a 255 and 275. Both are slightly more aggressive than stock and those sizes would definitely be friendly if you are lowering, just depends on your plans.

+35 advan will have no issues if it’s 10”.
If you’re into driving, try a square set up 10” front & rear
If you really want, you can stagger slightly by putting 265/275 front and 285/295 rear.
275/30 front & rear and that car will hang corners with no push.

<br /><br />thanks for the info! I want to lower on BC racing coilovers. I think those are the most affordable in my case, especially when trying to buy a set of wheels. I want to set my car up to where Its basically a track car but for the streets. Im not looking to getting into amateur or pro-racing, just want to have something decent for when someone pulls on up on a highway and wants to play <br /><br />Im trying to find what offset would be aggressive when lowered, but want the front and rear tires to stay in line with each other as they are from factory. What I mean by this is I dont want the front tire sticking out further than the rear, Or vice versa. Would you happen to know what those golden numbers are? It might have to be something thats custom made.<br /><br />Common sense tells me to stay with the same ratio from the factory (difference of 9mm from front to rear) thats why I had suggested a +35 front and +25 rear, but as you said that may poke out possibly.

You will find a bunch of different opinions on here, and that's what auto customization is all about. I read through this thread a 100 times before deciding on my wheel choice because there is a ton of good info in here. Look at pics and see what you like and take note of size and offsets. Some aggressive - some mild, but that's all going to depend on your specifications. Everyone's ideal offset is a relative term and it will differ by individual. Lexus had an ideal offset for the car, but you then customize to your needs.

One of the the best tools i've found is willtheyfit dot com. This site give you a good indication of how much offset and size changes based on wheel width, tire size and offset.

If you are wanting to stay with 9-9.5 and 10-10.5 sizes then low to mid 30's offsets work just fine on this platform. You start to get super aggressive when you move in the the mid to low 20's. And all wheels are not built alike even with similar offsets. We have large brakes on the car and you should verify if those specific wheels will clear. Also talk with CL wheel distributors like Josh at Meraki or Lou at MIJ. They've fitted a ton of these cars for local customers, built cars for SEMA and know what works.

I'm personally running the specs below for a reference, but to each there own. Not saying they are perfect, but it's what i wanted for my taste.

Try them out compared to other wheel sizes and offsets on the site i mentioned above.

20x9.5 +28
265/30/20
20x11 +40
295/30/20

255/285 also works well on this platform depending if you go 20" and how low you plan to go. I had to slightly trim the front to get the 265's to not rub, but i like the wider tire look so it was worth it to me.

anybody using a a +35 offset front and +30 rear? 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 on stock tire size.

trying to figure out if
1) would this set up sit parallel between the front axle and the rear (meaning the front isnt poking out further than the rear) and
2) Would the stock tires seemed stretched?

if they do stretch what would be a better tire size to go with?
