Question Wheel/Tire Help

So im hopefully getting new rims and im goin with 19's , thought about widths 9 Front and 10.5 Rear , since i know nothing about offsets i need help on choosing offsets but the important thing is nice lip action and to have the rim flush with the fenders no inside nor sticking out . second, how about Dunlop SP9000 245/40/ZR19 for front and 275/35/ZR19 rear . advice is appreciated

U'll also need to consider how low u r running. With ur tire specs, those r too fat. Plus, tire brand plays a role too.
If u run 245-35 & 275-30 FALKEN (stretch tire wall,) I would say go with 20x9 +35 & 20x10.5 +42.....that's gonna give u the aggressive flush look. But u might need some fender mods.

By fat I meant the tires. Different tire brands has different tire wall designs...even though there are the same specs. Like the Michellins & Bridgestone S-03s, those r fat side wall tires. Falken ST-115, Dunlop SP-9000, those are stretch side wall tires.

If u check out Fabulous GS, they run 19x9 +26 & 19x10.5 +30. So with +35 & +42, u r actually not going all out. As for the lips, different wheels have different lip sizes. Fabulous Profound, Traffic Star STM, u can get +100mm lip in the rear and about +70mm in the front. But if u go with WORK or Rays (VOLK RACING,) u only get around +80mm ~ +90mm in the rear & around +40mm ~ +50mm in the front.
Use the search function here on CL, u can find alot of tire infos.
