Whoa... Let's backtrack. The tires too far into wheel well equals too small of offset, right? Higher offset will bring the wheel out to the lip of the fender. Personally, I love the Rays 19x10 rims and my last car was a C6 Vette with 19x10's on the back and I had 305/30/19 Bridgestone RE070a's on it and they looked perfect. I'm badly wanting 305/30/19's on those Rays Wheels!
