Default After market rims with spacers ?

Thinking of running these below on stock height, really don't have a desire to lower the car. Would I need spacers for the front and back ? not looking for a poke look or hella flush look.

Compared to stock offsets

19x9+47 and 19x10+30

RAYS VOLK Racing GT30 –
20×9.5 +23
20×10.5 +24

SSR SP3 Super Black Coat/Chrome

20x9.5 +25
20x10.5 +30

Which one would fit better and look good in your opinion...

Rays would probably look somewhat better as far as offsets go on stock height.

SSR could probably use a 5 mm spacer in the back.

The front for both is about the same.

It also depends on the tire width you choose. If you choose a tire that sticks out a bit, you would be close to flush.

If you're not lowering the car, I'd go with the 19" and run taller tires to minimize the wheel gap. The 20" wheels on stock height just doesn't look right.

This is my buddy BeemaaZ with the stock 19" wheels running higher profile tires, sitting at stock height. He also have spacers on, but I'm not sure what size.
