Thanks to everyone for all the help!!! One last question. If I went with a 19X8.5 setup, but had +45mm offset in the front and +35mm offset in the back, would there be any real noticeable difference, or would they look the same as far as concaveness goes?

at first glance - you probably won't notice - it just depends on how perceptive you are. I'm sure most who aren't aware of how important offset is, it'll look similar. But i'm sure you'll see for yourself shortly ;)

btw - +35 will look better on 8.5's

It also depends on the design of the wheel. Not all wheels with a +35 offset will have the same concave look as others.

sketchy
 

how about 19x10 with +20 offset on a stock gt suspension?

What part about +20 offsets don't you guys get :) No +20's will fit unless they are stock or narrower...

Ok have finally decided on a set of wheels for mah car, and just want to make sure they'll fit.

The car is a 2004 GT that is getting dropped on TEIN S.Techs.

19x9.5 +40 all around w/ 245/35/19s

If there is a better size tire, let me know. Just tryin to base that size on the specs of a 275/35/18

Nuke has 19x9.5 with a +40 offset and he runs 265/30/19's and has no problem with rubbing. He is lowered on S Techs as well.

Thanks for the tip on the 265s.
