Default Need Wisdom On Rim Sizes. Help Please!

Need your wisdom. Getting iForged- Evolution(high polish) rims w/ bridestone potenza S-03. I need to summit the size of rims I want soon. This is my first upgrade for my 1997 SC400 Pearl white from stock. Going crazy over what size I am going to get. I have been reading allot of threads on this matter. I want a good offset and width size so I have a flush look/staggerd not hot rod look.

1 If I go 19s Then may be: front-19 x9 +45(245/35 zr19) back-19x10 +45(275/30zr19)

There is other good setups like: f-19x 9.5 +43 & b- 19x10.5 +43
f-19x8.5 +39 & b- 19x9.5 +39
f-19x8+45 & b-19x9 +45
f-19x8.5+46 & b-19x9.5+40
f-19x8.5+29 & b-19x9.5 +37
f-19x9+45 & b-19x10+45

FROM YOUR GUYS EXPERIENCE –WHAT IS A GOOD SET UP TO DO?

2. If I go 20s Then may be: Front 20x8.5 +37(245/35 20) Back-20x9.5+38(275/30 20)


FROM YOUR GUYS EXPERIENCE –WHAT IS A GOOD SET UP TO DO?


3. Do you think 2-piece looks like the 3-piece iForged EVOLUTION rim check it out.

I WANT TO PUT 18 OR 20'S
BUT U KNOW 20 LOOKS BETTER

JUST A THOUGHT " I THINK IT IS BETTER IF U GET A BIGGER SEIRES IN THE BACK.

SHOULD TRY SOME LIKE 245/30 OR 35/20 COZ HIGHER THE SIZE OF RIM LOWER THE TIRES

SERIES COZ IT IS GOING TO TOUCH UR FENDER.

AND SINCE OUR CAR ARE ALL REAR WHEEL DRIVE, SO FAT TIRED IN THE BACK WILL LOOK GOOD

MAY BE LIKE
275+/45/20 JUST A SUGESTION

HOPE BEEN HELPFUL

275/40 won't fit ...that would also throw your speedo off by 11% [speedo says 60mph, actual =67mph]

SC's can support wide widths, but offsets also play into what you want.
I am getting Iforged in 19x8.5 and 19x10 rear
Just don't copy mine
