Help! Offset size question

Im about to make a purchase on some rims... my two choices

19 8.5 front 19 9.5 rear with offset of +45 on the rear and +35 front
these are a little more expensive and they look nice but not what i was originally lookin for

next

19 8.5 front and 19 9.5 rear +35 offset all around these are cheaper and something i really like but rubbing is gonna be an issue....i am willing to fender roll if it will keep from rubbing but i dunno if fender roll will be enough

i read all through will it fit and the other threads any help appreciated thanks

Why not go 19x9.5 + 45 offset all around? Staggered will compromise performance, not enhance it.

Option one seems bass ackwards...



A roll will keep that from rubbing as long as your tire size doesn't get too crazy.

I have 19 by 9.5 with a +28 Offset - roll cured rubbing.


Some of us need a bit more rubber in the back...

I got mine rolled by the dealer (long story) - but I think it is pretty cheap to have done.
