thanks, from a diplomatic pacifist car enthusiast.

I'm not attacking your character. I was making a general statement and wasn't intended strictly for you. Sorry you took it that way.

Its all coming together now. The following is wheel porn and should be viewed with caution:

Who likes meat? I do!! How about some 325's on the rear:

As you can see the fitment is spot on. Took me a while to get these offset just right. The wheel sizes are 20x9.5" front with a 265 and 20x12" rear with a 325. Both tires are Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

Quick stupid question(s)...

When you guys say 19x11 +22, the "+22" is the offset of the wheel, correct? But then I see some people say they use spacers as well. I thought buying a custom wheel with a custom offset removed the need for spacers?

If stock rear is 19x10 +30 then a wheel that is 19x10 +10 with a 20mm spacer would be the same, correct?

So you either run stock 19x10 +30 and 20mm spacer to get a final offset of 19x10 +10 to be close to flush, or for example: buy a aftermarket wheel that 19x11 +20 which will give you almost the same result as running a 22.7mm spacer. Yes no maybe so?

Thanks for the help in advance!

I thought buying a custom wheel with a custom offset removed the need for spacers? Because not all wheels come with the offsets that one requires therefore you need a spacer. I never recommend spacers when doing after market wheels but to some, they rather take the chance.

If stock rear is 19x10 +30 then a wheel that is 19x10 +10 with a 20mm spacer would be the same, correct? No. Its the other way around. The closer the wheel gets to the fender the smaller the + number gets until it reaches zero and then starts going into -. So for your example the wheels would be a +50 to start and then end up with +30 after the 20mm spacer.
