Default New Shoes & Spacers?

Offset Gurus:

The wheels I'm looking at are as followed:

19x9 + 20
19x10.5 +25

or

20x9 +20
20x10.5 +30

Here's my current set-up:

Front: 255/40-19 front with 20mm spacers, camber is -1.5
Rear: 285/35-19 with 25mm spacers, camber is -1.2
OEM 19" Sport Rays
Lowered on TEIN springs with SPC rear camber arms

I'm thinking about going wider tires on the new wheels: 265(255)/35-19 or 20 & 305(295)/30-19 or 20.

I like my current stance and would like to keep it as I'm not into the stretched tire look, so I would appreciate suggestions on spacer and tire size for my two wheel size/offset options.

Hey fellas new to the forum, looking into 20X10 et22 (front) and 20X11 et9 (rear), tires sizes I want to run are 255 or 265/35 front and 305/30 rear. I will be on coilovers and I am wondering if everything will tuck in, I dont mind a little neg camber. Other question is if I need camber arms in front/rear. I plan on being lowered a good amount. Thanks for the advice/help!

how would 19x9.5 +12 front 19x11+ 0 look ? I want the front and rear to have the same flush look not one more poked or flush than the other.

bro, ive been researching a lot about fitment and i think that combo will give you a good fit with -1 to -2 camber without tires rubbing fender line.
i might be wrong tho.

should be fine depending on tire.

i ran 275 on + 27. so a 265 on + 22 is the same thing.
I ran 325 on + 20 so a 305 on a +9 is 1mm further out than mine. With OEM camber and suspension i had no rubbing. but the DW tires i had are a bit rounded slightly. keep that in mind.

ZLife, can you post a pic of your current setup? Possibly a shot that shows a good angle of the rim/tire to fender relation? What kind of camber are you runnng front & rear? I appreciate. your input!

Ok guys so I'm looking at getting a set of work gnosis gs2 in 19x9.5/11 I've asked a few guys for help with offsets but seem to get a wide variety of answers so I'm hoping to narrow it down. I want to run a 305 in the rear and a 265 up front. I plan to be lowered on Bc and would like to have a little more camber than stock. I've been told I could run a +10 15 or even a 0 in the rear and a a +10 to a +25 upfront so being this is my first set of wheels I'm completely lost.

15-22 rears and 18-25 fronts is my safe zone. I would still run it through an offset calc.

UPDATE:

Purchased my new wheels and rear tires

19x9 +20

19x10.5 +25 w/Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 305/30-19

I think I may not need spacers up front, but will add 10mm or 15mm rear. Thoughts? I like a bit of a poke vs sunken.

Also, still deciding on front tires. I've received some responses stating 255/35, but according to all the tire calcs. I have used, the numbers for a 265/35 appear to look better. Thoughts please?

Nah. I really wanted them, but I'm burning through money right now. House is priority currently. I'm going to settle for spacers and maybe a powder coat. Made cut back on suspension upgrades too lol. No coilovers anymore. Sways, Nismo dampers and some lowering springs.

For tires, 265/35/19 fronts and 305/30/19 rears.

Lol yea I hear ya it gets expensive, I already ordered my wheels but I was thinking about going with a 285/30 265/35. I like the idea of running a wide tire like a 305 but I don't want a really chunky looking tire.
