theoretically, i've learned if u will drop moderately on 19's and dont want to do any fender work, keep your front offsets around mid 30's to low 40's and rears at low to mid 40's.

i could be wrong and someone pls chime in to elaborate. but, mine are about that and very vey very conservative w/no fender work needed. would've been nice with more lip though. oh well. GL!

On mine I run a 19X8.5 front with 35 and 19X9.5 rear with 38. Mine is lowered 2 inches and did not need any fender work to clear. Its sits pretty flush and looks good.

Here's what I am running with no rubbing issues

Front
18X8.5 +35 w/ 245/40/18

Rear
18X9.5 +35 w/ 275/35/18

No drop as of yet and only as mild one in the future 1.2" front and 1" rear when the springs get put in.
