Would appreciate quick answer: What rims fit better? 19x8.5 -30 offset or 19x8.5 35 offset? OR both?
by putting the 35 offset in the front and 30 offset in the rear?
I'm only asking regarding rubbing issues, front and back.
I have another option of 19x8.5 - 45 offset too but im guessing that rubs for sure in the inner fender?
Tires being used will be 235/35/19
therefore, my 3 options with the rims im gettin are
19x8.5 ET35
19x8.5 ET30
19x8.5 ET45
what would u guys do to not rub? I'm on coilovers.
thanks guys

i rub in the rear outside fender, but not frequently, only if im taking an extremely hard corner and
if the rear end bounces like on decent sized dips in the road, never on speed bumps, ruts, etc..
ofcourse if i have two people in the back its a little more frequent, but it doesnt really bother me as its only rubbing on the inside carpet edge of the outside fender...
why are gonna run staggered? if you just want the look and are gonna run 45f/35r, you could run 10mm spacers up front and youd have the same offset but with a staggered look

go et35 all around. dont mess with your handling staggering the offsets....
I'm et32 with an 8.5" wheel and i only rub very slightly in the rear on the track. It only rubs the carpet which is now worn down so no more rubbing. ET35 should be a bit better. ET30 will be rub city and et45 tucks the wheels in too much. cheers! Mike

thats again mike, i guess i'l go et35 all around....so much for the staggered look
btw, the wheel only comes in 19x8.5 45 offset, the other sizes i added myself keeping mtm spacer sizes in mind.
hopefully they will have 2 pairs of 10mm in stock

np buddy...
you can go staggared if you want. It should fit, the problem is that it makes the rear stance wider causing even more understeer and negatively affecting handling (not dangerously or anything). People do it, but I figure if your spending money for an upgrade you may as well get better performance out of it, not worse. cheers! Mike

wow, didnt know that,
et35 all around sounds like the way to go.
i know you said they are not seriuos, but you're right, if im going to do it, no sense in doing something that will negatively affect performance, even slightly.
